Water to Acid vs Acid to Water

[JimK]

Yeah, ... that's why I said "Maybe" but I can still hear my ninth grade Chemistry teacher in my mind. Sorry to belabor the point but why use the bucket at all?

I understand where you're coming from.

Some years ago I saw a demonstration if what happens when you add water to the acid...BOOM! That certainly scared me enough to never want to add water to acid!

That said, I trust Ben's advice and accept his word that once diluted with water as he mentioned in this thread there won't be a problem.
