I wonder if they call this passivation like they do in chemistry - https://youtu.be/2yE7v4wkuZU?t=394 https://youtu.be/2yE7v4wkuZU?t=394

  And here I thought the 'acid to water' rule was only so you would have water splashing instead of acid. TIL (and I was a chemistry undergrad)

    What do you mean? How does the order of adding ingredients influence passivation? You should create an acid water mixture before adding the mixture to another chemical.

      "Do what you oughta, alway add acid to water" instead of water to acid is a safety mantra taught in high school and undergrad chemistry labs. You are correct but if you add the water to acid in the situation they'd shown the acid would be too concentrated as well.
