Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water. Consequently, the acid does not adequately mix when water is added. Therefore, we must add acid to the water. Water addition is an exothermic reaction, therefore as acid is added, more energy is produced and wasted.
A colorless, greasy liquid is sulfuric acid. With the discharge of heat, it dissolves in water. It corrodes flesh and metals. On contact, it will burn wood and the majority of other organic materials, although it is unlikely to start a fire.
Water has a tendency to float over sulfuric acid because it is less dense than the acid. The best way to think of the process is as the formation of hydronium ions: H2SO4 + H2O H3O+ + HSO. Sulfuric acid hydrates itself in a very exothermic reaction. Concentrated sulfuric acid can boil and spit violently if water is added to it. It is usually preferable to add acid to water rather than water to acid.
