Is it possible to pour acid into water? If you pour acid into water, you get a solution, and if you pour water into acid, an explosion is possible! An anecdote on the topic from Vladimir Volfovich

In the section on the question What happens if acid is poured into water, and vice versa if water is poured into acid asked by the author Profile deleted the best answer is You need to pour sulfuric acid into the water and then everything will be OK.
But if it’s the other way around... then at a minimum it will break the test tube, and at maximum it will hurt you when the acid starts splashing and burning you.
water is lighter than sulfuric acid. The melting point is 10.37 °C with a heat of fusion of 10.5 kJ/mol. It's a lot. - if you pour water into sulfuric acid, the water will boil during the pouring process and begin to splash.

Have you heard the expression: acid comes to visit...


Answer from Spica[guru]
a weak solution of acid or water... =))


Answer from Churchill[guru]
The second can only be done in chemical protection overalls.


Answer from Anatoly Podpleletny[guru]
In the first case, the acid is heavier and immediately sinks to the bottom; all you have to do is stir and there will be an electrolyte! And in the second case, light water will begin to splash and burn your eyes if you don’t have glasses!!


Answer from ****** [guru]
Either you will be sighted or vice versa! Water into acid - ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE! Release in the form of splashes - eyes - face - burns - blindness - loss of beauty - disabled due to stupidity!!


Answer from Mikhail Barmin[guru]
Dissociation (dissolution occurs with the release of a large amount of heat. Do not pour a substance with a higher density into a substance with a lower density, which will lead to better mixing and a lower speed, otherwise the solution will EMISSION and EYE DAMAGE!!


Answer from Ira Yushinova[newbie]
It depends on what kind of acid. In the case of nitric and hydrochloric acids, nothing bad will happen; the acids will simply heat up. The salt one will heat up more. In the case of sulfur, the reaction will proceed with a large release of heat. In the first case, the sulfuric acid will sink to the bottom, so the water has a lower density and the reaction will proceed safely. In the second case, the reaction will take place on the surface with a large release of heat. A similar thing happens when you drop water on a hot frying pan. But eventually the acid will absorb the water.

For safety and ease of use, it is recommended to buy the acid as diluted as possible, but sometimes you have to dilute it even more at home. Don't forget to wear protective equipment for your body and face, as concentrated acids cause severe chemical burns. To calculate the required amount of acid and water, you will need to know the molarity (M) of the acid and the molarity of the solution you need to obtain.

Steps

How to calculate the formula

    Explore what you already have. Look for the acid concentration designation on the packaging or in the task description. This value is usually indicated as molarity, or molar concentration (M for short). For example, 6M acid contains 6 moles of acid molecules per liter. Let's call this initial concentration C 1.

    • The formula will also use the value V 1. This is the volume of acid we will add to the water. We likely won't need the entire bottle of acid, although we don't know the exact amount yet.
  1. Decide what the result should be. The required concentration and volume of acid are usually indicated in the text of the chemistry problem. For example, we need to dilute the acid to 2M, and we will need 0.5 liters of water. Let us denote the required concentration as C 2, and the required volume is as V 2.

    • If you are given other units, first convert them to molarity units (moles per liter) and liters.
    • If you don't know what concentration or volume of acid is needed, ask a teacher or someone knowledgeable about chemistry.
  2. Write a formula to calculate the concentration. Each time you dilute an acid, you will use the following formula: C 1 V 1 = C 2 V 2. This means that the original concentration of a solution multiplied by its volume equals the concentration of the diluted solution multiplied by its volume. We know that this is true because the concentration times the volume equals the total amount of acid, and the total amount of acid will remain the same.

    • Using the data from the example, we write this formula as (6M)(V 1)=(2M)(0.5L).
  3. Solve equation V 1. The V 1 value will tell us how much concentrated acid we need to get the desired concentration and volume. Let's rewrite the formula as V 1 =(C 2 V 2)/(C 1), then substitute the known numbers.

    • In our example, we get V 1 =((2M)(0.5L))/(6M). This equals approximately 167 milliliters.
  4. Calculate the required amount of water. Knowing V 1, that is, the available volume of acid, and V 2, that is, the amount of solution that you will get, you can easily calculate how much water you will need. V 2 - V 1 = required volume of water.

    • In our case, we want to get 0.167 liters of acid per 0.5 liter of water. We need 0.5 liters - 0.167 liters = 0.333 liters, that is, 333 milliliters.
  5. Wear safety glasses, gloves and a gown. You will need special glasses that will cover the sides of your eyes as well. To avoid burning your skin or burning through your clothing, wear gloves and a robe or apron.

    Work in a well-ventilated area. If possible, work under a switched-on hood - this will prevent acid vapors from harming you and surrounding objects. If you don't have a hood, open all windows and doors or turn on a fan.

    Find out where the source of running water is. If the acid gets into your eyes or skin, you will need to rinse the affected area under cool running water for 15-20 minutes. Don't start working until you know where the nearest sink is.

    • When rinsing your eyes, keep them open. Look up, down, to the sides so that your eyes are washed from all sides.
  6. Know what to do if you spill acid. You can buy a special kit for collecting spilled acid, which will include everything you need, or purchase neutralizers and absorbents separately. The process described below is applicable to hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric and phosphoric acids. Other acids may require different handling.

    • Ventilate the room by opening windows and doors and turning on the hood and fan.
    • Apply A little sodium carbonate (soda), sodium bicarbonate, or calcium carbonate onto the outer edges of the puddle, ensuring that the acid does not splash.
    • Gradually pour the entire puddle towards the center until you cover it entirely with the neutralizing substance.
    • Mix thoroughly with a plastic stick. Check the pH value of the puddle with litmus paper. Add more neutralizing agent if the reading is greater than 6-8, then rinse the area with plenty of water.

How to dilute acid

  1. Cool the water with luda. This should only be done if you will be working with high concentration acids, for example, 18M sulfuric acid or 12M hydrochloric acid. Pour water into a container and place the container on ice for at least 20 minutes.

    • Most often, water at room temperature is sufficient.
  2. Pour distilled water into a large flask. For applications requiring extreme precision (such as titrimetric analysis), use a volumetric flask. For all other purposes, a regular conical flask will do. The container must fit the entire required volume of liquid, and there must also be room so that the liquid does not spill.

    • If the capacity of the container is known, there is no need to accurately measure the amount of water.
  3. Add a small amount of acid. If you are working with a small amount of water, use a graduated or measuring pipette with a rubber tip. If the volume is large, insert a funnel into the flask and carefully pour the acid in small portions with a pipette.

    • Do not use pipettes in the chemistry laboratory that require air to be drawn in through the mouth.
  4. Let the solution cool. Strong acids can generate large amounts of heat when in contact with water. If the acid is concentrated, the solution may bubble and splash and produce toxic fumes. If you encounter this, start adding acid in even smaller amounts or chill the water on ice.

    Pour in the remaining acid in small portions. Allow the solution to cool between servings, especially if you feel warm or notice any fumes or splashes. Continue adding acid until it is gone.

    • The required amount was calculated above as V 1 .
  5. Stir the solution. It is best to stir the liquid after each addition of acid. If the flask does not allow this, stir the solution at the end when you remove the funnel.

    Remove the acid and wash the instruments. Pour the resulting solution into a labeled container, preferably a glass bottle covered with plastic, and put it in a safe place. Rinse the flask, funnel, stirring rod, pipette and/or volumetric flask to remove any remaining acid.

Do you remember this safety rule, told in school chemistry lessons?

I was thinking the other day, and WHAT will happen to Germany and its "shvuli" upon INFUSION into this country concentrated flow of Islamists?

Do you think it will work out? solution or explosion?!

You might be asking who are the German "schwuls"?

Listen to this girl's story:

According to the Germans themselves, the number "shvulei" in Germany has long since passed million people!

In 2001, 14 years ago, the German government and church legalized homosexual marriages. As a result, in Germany there are more than 400 thousand officially registered same-sex marriage.

The growth of male homosexuality is directly proportional to the growth of emancipation.


This is Germany, 21st century.

Another myth and stereotype has been imposed on German society. Today German society is a society of social amnesia. He is characterized by uncomplaining adherence to orders and guidelines, personal indifference, conformism coupled with uniformism and spiritual enslavement. And also a sharp change in the spiritual climate (today there are still people alive who remember how homosexuals were imprisoned in KZ). And this submissive and thoughtless state of the man of the “mass” made him an easy prey for demagoguery and prejudice.

While declaring universal equality, democracy does not tolerate diversity, unless we are talking about homosexuals, transsexuals and travesties. They are allowed "blooming multiplicity", and the rest will be humanely smothered with a pillow of political correctness. There is a standard neurophysiological reaction to homosexuality in Germany today, as well as to all orders that come down from above.

If we are ordered to love, we will love. Seventy years ago they ordered not to love - they didn’t love.

Homosexuality in Germany has become a marginal phenomenon of public life. In an atmosphere of permissiveness, it turned into a pandemic.

The institution of the family collapsed under the combined onslaught of homosexuals, feminists and atheists. Morality and tradition are squeezed into the margins.

Not only in Germany, but also in other countries of the world, signs of total pain have intensified.

Humanity is moving further and further away from the norm that Erich Fromm called “healthy.” Signs of such a life are an ever-increasing alienation between people, increased egocentrism, relativization and destruction of traditional moral and ethical values, the increasing chaos of life, hedonism and mercantilism. Source.

It was one side of the coin, and this is another one. It is called "infusion of a concentrated flow of Muslims into Germany":

And if newly arrived Muslims This is how they treat German police officers, I can’t even imagine what will their reaction be to the German "shvuli"!

But both of them equally warmed and caressed government of the new Germany!

In my opinion, such a "care" about the German nation from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, this is an order of magnitude cooler idea than someone’s idea to bring together airborne troops and St. Petersburg gays in Russia!

What do you think, friends, will Muslims be able to cure Geyropu and Germany from sodomy?

ANECDOTE on the TOPIC from Vladimir Volfovich:

ABOUT One morning Stirlitz came to see Muller. He was in a darker mood.
- Mr. Gruppenführer, what happened? Are the Russians already in the suburbs of Berlin?
- Stirlitz, stop your stupid jokes! I had a terrible dream - Germany 2015!
- So, is everything so bad there?
- Not that word! Imagine, in Germany our Chancellor is a woman, our Foreign Minister is a homosexual, Turks work at Daimler-Benz factories, Germany pays the debts of the Greeks and Spaniards, instead of torchlight processions there are gay pride parades, we pay money to Jews and carry out the orders of a black man from America!

How to mix two liquid substances? For example, some acid and water? It would seem that this problem is from the series “twice two is four.” What could be simpler: drain the two liquids together in some suitable container, and that’s it! Or pour one liquid into a container that already contains another. Alas, this is the same simplicity that, according to an apt popular expression, is worse than theft. Because things can end extremely sadly!

Instructions

There are two containers, one of them contains concentrated sulfuric acid, the other contains water. How to mix them correctly? Should we pour acid into water or, conversely, water into acid? The price of a wrong decision in theory can be a low score, but in practice - at best, a severe burn.

Why? But because concentrated sulfuric acid, firstly, is much denser than water, and secondly, it is extremely hygroscopic. In other words, it actively absorbs water. Thirdly, this absorption is accompanied by the release of a large amount of heat.

If water is poured into a container with concentrated sulfuric acid, the first portions of water will “spread” over the surface of the acid (since water is much less dense), and the acid will begin to greedily absorb it, releasing heat. And there will be so much heat that the water will literally “boil” and splashes will fly in all directions. Naturally, without avoiding the hapless experimenter. Getting burned with “clean” boiling water is not very pleasant, but considering that the water spray will probably still contain acid. The prospect is becoming completely gloomy!

That is why many generations of chemistry teachers forced their students to literally memorize the rule: “First water, then acid! Otherwise, big trouble will happen!” Concentrated sulfuric acid should be added to water in small portions with stirring. Then the unpleasant situation described above will not happen.

A reasonable question: it’s clear with sulfuric acid, but what about other acids? How to properly mix them with water? In what order? It is necessary to know the density of the acid. If it is denser than water, for example, concentrated nitrogen, it should be added to water, just like sulfur, observing the above conditions (little by little, with stirring). Well, if the density of the acid differs very slightly from the density of water, as is the case with acetic acid, it makes no difference.

When concentrated sulfuric acid and water are mixed, a lot of heat is generated. For a chemist, this fact is very important, since both in the laboratory and in industry it is often necessary to prepare dilute solutions of sulfuric acid. To do this, you need to mix concentrated sulfuric acid with water - not always, but often.

How to mix concentrated sulfuric acid and water?

All textbooks and workshops strongly recommend pour sulfuric acid into water (in a thin stream and with good mixing) - and not vice versa: Do not pour water into concentrated sulfuric acid!

Why? Sulfuric acid is heavier than water.

If you pour acid into water in a thin stream, the acid will sink to the bottom. The heat that is released during mixing will dissipate - it will go to heating the entire mass of the solution, since a large amount of water is located above the layer of acid that has sank to the bottom of the vessel.

The heat will dissipate, the solution will heat up - and nothing bad will happen, especially if the liquid is mixed well while adding acid to water.

What will happen if you do wrong , - add water to concentrated sulfuric acid? When the first portions of water enter the sulfuric acid, they will remain on the surface (since water is lighter than concentrated sulfuric acid). Will stand out a lot of heat that will be used to heat small quantity water.

The water will suddenly boil, resulting in splashes of sulfuric acid and the formation of a caustic aerosol. The effect can be similar to adding water to a hot frying pan with oil. Sulfuric acid splashes can get into your eyes, skin and clothing. Sulfuric acid aerosol is not only very unpleasant to inhale, but also dangerous to the lungs.

If the glass is not heat-resistant, the vessel may crack.

To make this rule easier to remember, they come up with special rhymes like:

“First water, and then acid - otherwise big trouble will happen!”

They also use special phrases for memorization - “memes”, for example:

"Tea with lemon".

Books are good, but I decided to film what the result of incorrectly mixing concentrated sulfuric acid and water looks like in practice.

Of course, with all precautions: from safety glasses to the use of small quantities of substances.

I conducted several experiments - I tried mixing sulfuric acid with water (both correctly and incorrectly). In both cases, only strong heating was observed. But boiling, splashing, and the like did not happen.

As an example, I will describe one of the experiments conducted in a test tube. I took 20 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and 5 ml of water. Both liquids are at room temperature.

I started adding water to the sulfuric acid. The water boiled only at the moment when the first portions of water were added to the acid. New portions of water extinguished the boil. The caustic aerosol flew (I was not prepared for this, I had to move away for a few seconds). I tried to mix it with an aluminum wire (what I had on hand). Zero effect. I measured the temperature with a thermometer. It turned out to be 80 degrees Celsius. The experiment was hardly a success.

The new experiment was carried out in a flask: so that the contact surface of the two liquids was maximum (this would ensure a sharper release of heat), and the thickness of the water layer above the sulfuric acid was minimal. I did not add water all at once, but in small portions (so that the heat would be used to boil the water, and not to heat the entire mass of water).

So, about 10-15 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was poured into a conical flask. I used about 10 ml of water.

While I was preparing for the experiment, the acid, under the scorching sun, warmed up to 36-37 degrees (which is 20 degrees higher than the initial temperature of the acid in the previous experiment). The water in the test tube also warmed up slightly, but not so much. I think this played a big role in the success of the experience.

When the main portion of water was added to the sulfuric acid, splashes and a caustic aerosol were noticeably flying. Fortunately, they were carried away by the wind, which was blowing from my side, so I didn’t even feel anything.

As a result, the temperature in the test tube rose above 100 degrees!

What conclusions can be drawn? If you break the rule that Do not add water to concentrated sulfuric acid , splashing does not always occur, but it is possible - especially when the water and acid are warm. Especially if you add water slowly, in small portions and in a wide container.

When working with larger quantities of water and acid, the likelihood of sudden heating and splashing increases (reminder: we only took a few milliliters).

Experience that demonstrates that Do not add water to concentrated sulfuric acid , described in the workshop by the authors Ripan and Ceteanu.

Let me quote:

If you pour water into concentrated sulfuric acid, the first drops of water that fall into it instantly turn into steam and splashes of liquid fly out of the vessel. This occurs because water, having a small specific gravity, is not immersed in the acid, and the acid, due to its low heat capacity, does not absorb the released heat. When hot water is poured in, a stronger splash of sulfuric acid is observed.

Experience.Mixing water with concentrated H 2 SO 4. A glass of concentrated sulfuric acid is placed at the bottom of a large glass covered with a funnel. Warm water is poured in using a pipette (Fig. 161). When hot water is poured in, the inner walls of a large glass and funnel are instantly covered with splashes of liquid.

Rice. 161

In the absence of a glass funnel, you can use a cardboard one, into which a pipette with water is inserted.

If concentrated sulfuric acid is poured dropwise or in a thin stream into a glass of water, you will notice how the heavier sulfuric acid sinks to the bottom of the glass.

When concentrated H 2 SO 4 is mixed with ice, two phenomena can be simultaneously observed: hydration of the acid, accompanied by the release of heat, and melting of ice, accompanied by the absorption of heat. Therefore, as a result of mixing, either an increase or decrease in temperature can be observed. Thus, when mixing 1 kg of ice with 4 kg of acid, the temperature rises to almost 100°, and when mixing 4 kg of ice with 1 kg of acid, the temperature drops to almost -20°.
