What is the proper method of mixing acid and water |
|
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. If you add acid to water, the water is UNLIKELY to splash up, HOWEVER, even if it did, it's less LIKELY to cause injuries than if you make the mistake of adding water to acid. When you add water to acid, the water boils and the acid MAY splatter and splash! |
