Benzene can be nitrated with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids. How do we do that?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

We can do the nitration of benzene by treating the benzene with a mixture of nitric acid and sulphuric acid by not extending the temperature of 50°C

Explanation:

Nitration of benzene takes place by treating the benzene with a mixture of nitric acid and sulphuric acid at low temperatures such as the temperatures below 50°C

The nitration of benzene takes place through electrophilic substitution reaction

In this reaction the electrophile is nitronium ion (NO2+) which performs an electrophilic substitution reaction on the benzene ring and during the reaction an intermediate will also be formed in which there will be positive charge distributed in the benzene

These electrophile is generated when nitric acid is treated with sulphuric acid

As nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent, here in this case the oxidation state of nitrogen will change from +5 to +3

The reactions regarding the nitration of benzene is present in the file attached

When a person in the hospital is given fluids intravenously, the fluid is typically a saline (salt) solution with about the same

Sati [7]

Answer:

Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.

Explanation:

Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body tissues including the red blood cells.
Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling.
But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. 
Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. This will not cause swelling.
But too much of salt is also not recommended.

A sample of sugar contains 1.505 × 1023 molecules of sugar. How many moles of sugar are present in the sample?

alisha [4.7K]

1 mole ------------ 6.02 x10²³ molecules
? mole ----------- 1.505 x10²³ molecules

1.505x10²³ / 6.02x10²³ => 0.25 moles

hope this helps!
