Not to thread jack but......................... AAA, Always Add Acid. Never the other way around, I've seen people get burnt when I had chem lab.

When you add water to acid, you create a very concentrated acidic solution, which releases large amounts of heat, causing the water to boil, and splash acid. When you add acid to water, you create a very diluted solution, that gives off very little heat, which in turn, does not cause the water to boil and splash acid. "thumbsup"
