What is the correct way to mix acid and water?
A
The water must be added to the acid.
B
The water must be heated before mixing.
C
The acid must be heated before mixing.
D
The acid must be slowly added to the water.

Mixing a strong acid with water is an intensely exothermic process that releases significant heat. Acid must always be poured slowly into a larger volume of water to dissipate the heat safely, whereas adding water directly to acid can cause dangerous, explosive boiling and splashing.
