Why water is not directly added to sulphuric acid for
dilution?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / hari
H2SO4 is acid , when water is added to the acid it will
produce high energy , it is in the form of heat.So from this
we could not add water directly, we have to add it slowly
then we will neutralize the heat.

Answer / dinesh patil
Sulphuric acid has hydroscopic (Affinity towards water)
property. When we add water to acid due to hydroscopic
property it may suddenly comes out & may cause burning.
While mixing water & sulphuric acid we should always add
acid in water (with glass rod) & not to add water in acid.
Heat is genrated called as heat of neuterization which has
no relation with the addition

Answer / gopesh
Actually when water is added to sulphuric acid, a huge
amount of heat generates liable to crack the beaker
this is why when we need to dilute H2SO4 we take water in
a beaker and add acid slowly so that heat generation is
slow .

Answer / harsh
Since, acid is more viscous than water if we add water to
acid mixing will not be proper & thereby heat dissipation
becomes difficult. The added water takes away the
dissipated heat rapidly forming steam & creating a Flashing
or Explosion. Therefore water shouldn't be added to acid
and acid should be added to water for the dilution purpose.

Answer / sania
because on dilution of acid more amount of heat generate
which is harmful for human so water is not directly added to
acid

Answer / murthy
if water is added directly into large amount of H2so4, due
to heat of misibility water is vaporized, water required to
dilute greatly increases approximately 15-20 times .that is
why H2so4 is added to water and water is not added to h2so4.

Answer / sanjay kumar it-bhu
H2SO4 is highly acidic , when water is added to the acid it
will produce high quantiy of energy , it becomes violent
condition means break the beaker.So its dangerous for humen
so there should not be add water directly, we have to add
it slowly in dropwise manner then we will neutralize the
heat.

Answer / priyank sompura
because it is very concentrated so that for concentration
water is not directly used

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.32 : In the calculation of the total cost of production of an engineering material, a linear equation Y = MX + C could be applied. Let T = total cost, F = fixed cost, V = variable cost, Q = quantity produced, W = variable cost per unit produced. Form a linear equation that relates : (a) T, F and V; (b) V, Q and W.

Question 36 - For a mixture of benzene (B), toluene (T) and xylene (X), the equation applies where x for B, T and X will sum up to 1. The equation of x for each component is x = (L / V + 1) (F) / (L / V + K). The data of F for each component are : 0.5 for B, 0.35 for T, 0.15 for X. The data of K for each component are : 1.98 for B, 0.76 for T, 0.24 for X. When x for B + x for T + x for X = 1, find the values of (a) L / V; (b) x for each component of B, T, X respectively. You may use Excel program - Data : What-If-Analysis for Goal Seek to perform the iterative calculations.
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.29 : An engineering company that produces small biochemical tools applies Installment Sales Method in its accounting. Let A = Installment Sales, B = Cost of Installment Sales, C = Gross Profit, D = Gross Profit Ratio. In year 20X8, let A = $400, B = $250, C = $150. In year 20X9, let A = $450, B = $315, C = $135. If the value of D = 37.5 % in year 20X8 : (a) find the value of D for year 20X9; (b) calculate the realized gross profit = ED / 100, for year 20X8 when the cash collected from sales is E = $100.

PROCESS CONTROL - EXAMPLE 6.2 : A stream with volumetric flow rate Q enters a cylindrical tank and a stream with volumetric flow rate q exits the tank. The fluid has a constant heat capacity and density. There is no temperature change or chemical reaction occurring in the tank. Develop a model for determining the height of the tank, h. Let V is the volume, A is the cross sectional area, r is the density, m is the mass, where V and A are for the tank, r and m are for the fluid. The rate of mass of fluid accumulation, dm / dt = (Q - q) r. Prove the model to be dh / dt = (Q - q) / A.
