The correct method for diluting an acid is to slowly add acid to water. This method ensures that the exothermic reaction that occurs when an acid is diluted is controlled, reducing the risk of splattering and potential hazards. Always remember to use appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and goggles, when handling acids.
