Careful with concentrated acids!
Adding water to a concentrated acid can cause violent reactions - and
with some acids, quite explosive results.
Always pour concentrated acid into the water if you want to dilute
it, even when making an 80% solution from a 100%. Diluting acids
usually creates heat, so make sure you are diluting into something
that is heat-safe.
