write the procedure of diluting acid with explanation.
Answers
Explanation:
Stir the solution.
➖Always add acid to the water, not the other way around. ...
➖When mixing two acids, always add the stronger acid to the weaker.
➖It is possible to add half the required amount of water, diluting it fully, then slowly mixing in the remaining water.
Explanation:
Concentrated acids can be diluted by mixing with water.
But remember, dilution of acid is a very highly exothermic reaction, and caution should be taken.
Also, do not add water to acid, or the acid will splash out of the container.
Acids should be added slowly to water while stirring for dilution.

Before you perform the dilution itself, calculate the amount of water and acid needed for the desired concentration. For example, to make 100 mL of .01 molar (M) hydrochloric acid, use 10 mL of .1 molar acid and 90 mL of water. Obtain the correct amounts of deionized (DI) water in one beaker and acid in another. Slowly pour all the acid into the water. Allow a minute or two for the acid to mix before using it, or stir gently with a clean glass rod, then rinse it in DI water.
