In case anyone want to know why is that. Acid+water = bunch of hydrogen bonds form = heats up and starts to boil. Also most acids are much denser than water, so they sink to the bottom so they spread out and the heat dissipates better. If you put water to acid, it immedialety boils up, it can float on the boiling acid.
