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

Answer : The volume of produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L
Explanation :
Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.
The combined gas equation is,
where,
= initial pressure of
gas = (740-22.4) torr = 717.6 torr
= final pressure of
gas at STP= 760 torr
= initial volume of
gas = 280 mL
= final volume of
gas at STP = ?
= initial temperature of
gas =
= final temperature of
gas =
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Therefore, the volume of produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L
