Question

Naman and Raghav performs an experiment in which they mixed concentrated sulphuric acid with water. Naman mixes water to acid and Raghav mixes acid to water slowly with constant stirring. Mention the suitable reason for selecting the one which you find is a correct method and discarding the one which is wrong.

Answer 1

The correct method is opted by Raghav i.e., mixing of conc. H₂SO₄ to water slowly with constant stirring.

The reaction is highly exothermic and heat generated is evenly distributed in the water.

In the other method opted by Raman, the heat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and causes burns. The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating.
