When mixing acid with water, always add the acid to the water, not the reverse. Also, wear lab goggles.
If you're mixing a stop bath for photo-processing, adding water to glacial acetic acid can create a reaction causing the solution to "boil" and splash, which can result in chemical burns.
Plymouth State University publishes a great photo lab safety manual that is accessible via Related Links, below.

How is pva glue diluted?
I'm sure by adding water it will dilute it as its a water based glue.
What are 2 forms of water pollution?
Two kinds of Water pollution is acid and garbage.
Suspensions can be wetted before adding water by using a wetting agent or a?
surfactant
What removes uric acid and salts from the hemolymph?
it is dissolved in water
Why does adding water to acid make it easier to deal with?
why does adding water to an acid make it eaiser to deal with
What is the rule for mixing acids and water?
Always add acid to water, not water to acid. This helps to prevent the acid from splashing back and causing potential harm, as adding water to acid can lead to an exothermic reaction and potentially dangerous spattering.
Why is acid added to water and not water to acid?
Acid should always be added to water because the reaction between water and acid is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. Adding water to acid can cause the mixture to heat up rapidly, potentially splashing the acid out of the container and causing burns. Adding acid to water allows for better control and reduces the risk of an accident.
Why do you add acid to water but not water to acid?
Adding water to acid can cause a violent reaction, splashing the acid out of the container. Adding acid to water, on the other hand, allows for better control of the reaction, reducing the risk of splashing and potential harm.
What is the safety rule for diluting an acid?
Wear safety goggles, do not mix acids unless instructed to do so.
What will happen if sulfuric acid is added with water?
Adding sulfuric acid to water is the recommended way of working to avoid accidents.
What does adding an acid to an alkali produce?
Adding an acid to an alkali produces a salt and water through a neutralization reaction. The H+ ions from the acid react with the OH- ions from the alkali to form water, while the anion from the acid combines with the cation from the alkali to form a salt.
What solution would alkali and acid give if added together?
It would depend on which acid and alkali were involved, the general rule is that adding an acid to an alkali will produce a salt and water. Sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide would give sodium sulphate + water Hydrochloric acid and potassium carbonate would give potassium chloride and water and carbon dioxide etc
When acid comes in to contact with skin why do you rinse the area with water?
Adding water to the affected area dilutes or washes off the acid.
How do you reduce water pH?
Lower pH by adding muriatic acid.
Why is it important to run a strong acid into a weak acid not the other way round?
Adding water to acids causes rapid heat generation and explosion hazard. Because the water content is higher in "weak" (more diluted) acids, to some degree adding the more dilute acid solution to the less dilute (strong) acid is tantamount to adding water to acid as opposed to adding acid (safely) to water.Because in some cases a lot of heat is given off and the base, or even the water, dribbled into the acid, e.g. H2SO4, will boil off instantaneously and scatter hot drops over everyone. By putting the acid into the water or base the acid is diluted quickly and the process is less dangerous.
Is dilute sulphuric acid compound?
Dilute sulphuric acid is an aqueous solution, formed by adding water to sulphuric acid, resulting in a homogeneous mixture.
