DMSO is exothermic with water, which is why it shouldn't be put on the skin or consumed before diluting it.
 Most pure acids and bases do that as well.
 Mixing Lye crystals with water can get REAL hot, some acids, explosively so.

I have just completed setting up a little 4oz. "Spritzer" bottle with about 2 1/2 ounces of E.I.S. ~15PPM and about 1 1/2 ounces of 99% DMSO.

When I added the DMSO, the mixture immediately got hot! Not boiling, but probably somewhere around 140 degrees F.

Should that happen? There is a warning on the DMSO bottle about adding DMSO to acid chlorides sometimes reacting explosively, but the E.I.S. should be nothing but double distilled water and silver.

Explanations, anyone?
