When acid is added to water slowly, it allows for better mixing and prevents the formation of large splashes or bursts of acid. This reduces the risk of acid burns on the skin and clothing. By adding the acid slowly and stirring, the acid is evenly distributed in the water, minimizing the chances of any concentrated acid coming into contact with the skin or clothing.
