When you mix a solid chemical with a liquid chemical , should you add the solid to the liquid or the liquid to the solid ? does it really matter? is
one way better then the other ?
thank you

I honestly dont think it matters, I add solid to liquid though.
EDIT:unless its two substances that will make an exothermic rxn, then its always solid to liquid.

One way if you think! Always maybe liquid to a solid queue in mind that nytrosil chloride as always, due visible foaming caused by oxidation of base
metals, thats the way, otherwise you'll blow out your face...

It is not so simple to say. It depends on the reaction.AndersHoveland - 29-6-2013 at 12:15

In some situations it does really matter.
Usually it does not make any difference, but typically it is easier to gradually dissolve the solid into the liquid.bfesser - 30-6-2013 at 07:13
I always prefer to add my liquid caesium to my solid fluorine to avoid splashing, but I suppose you could do it the other way 'round.
