Question

why it is recommended that the acid should be added to water and not water to the acid

Answer 1

it is recommended that acid should be added to water not water to acid because acid has more concentration than water. It may sploish the metal and catch

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{{\underline{\color{blue}{Answer!}}}}$

The process of dissolving an acid or a base in water is highly an exothermic one. Care must be taken while mixing concentrated acids or bases in water. The acid must always be added slowly to water with constant stirring. If water is added to a concentrated acid, the heat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and cause burns. The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating

$\large\underline\mathtt\red{Additional~information:-}$

Mixing an acid or a base with water results in decrease in the concentration of ions $\bold{(H_3O^+~/~OH^-)}$ per unit volume. Such a process is called dilution and the acid or the base is said to be diluted.
