A potion of acid may not be #dipped to become water; if it gets wet, it will boil and cause you 1-10 points of damage. However, a potion of acid can be cancelled to turn it into a potion of water. If you quaff a potion of acid when you are turning to stone, you will be cured of your stoning. You will abuse your constitution and take 1-4 points of damage if blessed, 2-16 points of damage if cursed, and 1-8 points of damage if uncursed. They are best used either as an emergency stoning cure (or a primary one, for vegans and vegetarians), or as a thrown weapon.
If a monster throws a potion and hits another monster with it, or you throw an unidentified potion at a monster, and the monster "shrieks in pain" or "writhes in pain", the potion is a potion of acid. Holy water can give the same message, but monsters do not use it. You will be prompted to type-name the potion unless it already was named.
Walking into a pool of water with potions of acid in your main inventory can make them explode without dealing any damage. They will never dilute or deal damage.
The only ways to obtain diluted acid presumably are wishing, or random alchemy results.
