As I recall from 30 years ago in chemistry class, if you are going to
dilute a strong solution with water, be sure to add the acid to the
water, not the other way around.  Sometimes there is heat produced when
mixing the two solutions together, and if you pour water into a strong
acid (or was it alkali?) it could explode.
