Answer:
When you mix acid with water, it's extremely important to add the acid to the water rather than the other way around. This is because acid and water react in a vigorous exothermic reaction, releasing heat, sometimes boiling the liquid.When you add water to acid, the water boils and the acid may splatter and splash.

Answer:
If you add water to acid,it forms an extremely concentrated solution of acid initially.So much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently,splashing concentrated acid out of of the container and all this because the reaction is exothermic. ...so it is always safer to add acid to water,and not water to acid.
