Explanation:
The reaction of toluene with alkaline potassium permanganate in the presence of heat leads to the oxidation of the -CH3 to give benzoic acid.
Reaction benzoic acid with HNO3/H2SO4 yields the nitronium ion (NO2+).
Recall that -COOH is a metal director and deactivated the ring towards electrophilic substitution hence the m-nitrobenzoic acid is formed.
Reaction with FeBr3/Br2 yields the product shown in the image attached.

The notation is actually written in this way (shown in the attached picture). The X is the symbol of the element. So, for potassium, the symbol is K. The A represents the mass number of the isotope. In this case, that would be equal to 39. The Z represents the atomic number of potassium, which is 19. Therefore, the symbol for the isotope is: ³⁹₁₉K
Answer:
Final pH: 9.49.
Round to two decimal places as in the question: 9.5.
Explanation:
The conjugate of B is a cation that contains one more proton than B. The conjugate of B is an acid. As a result, B is a weak base.
What's the pKb of base B?
Consider the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for buffers of a weak base and its conjugate acid ion.

What's the new salt-to-base ratio?
The 0.005 mol of HCl will convert 0.005 mol of base B to its conjugate acid ion BH⁺.
Initial:
;
.
After adding the HCl:
;
.
Assume that the volume is still 0.5 L:
.
.
What's will be the pH of the solution?
Apply the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation again:
.
The final pH is slightly smaller than the initial pH. That's expected due to the hydrochloric acid. However, the change is small due to the nature of buffer solutions: adding a small amount of acid or base won't significantly impact the pH of the solution.
