Explanation:
much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container! If you add acid to water, the solution that forms is very dilute and the small amount of heat released is not enough to vaporize and spatter it. So Always Add Acid to water, and never the reverse.
The process of dissolving acid or base in water is a highly exothermic one .Acid can be added to water it should added with much care slowly and constant stirring.If water is added to acid the beat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and cause burns.The glass container may break due to excessive local heating.
