Why water is not directly added to sulphuric acid for
dilution?

Answer Posted / 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
