The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached to this answer.
Answer:
a) Br^-
b) FeCl3
c) slower
d) see the first attached image
Explanation:
Aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic substitution sections in the presence of the appropriate electrophile.
In the reaction above, the Br^- nucleophile attacks the Lewis acid FeCl3. Recall that the nitro group is meta directing hence the incoming Br^+ electrophile is directed towards the meta position as shown in the image attached.
Note that the nitro group deactivates the ring towards electrophilic substitution hence the reaction is slower with nitrobenzene than with unsubstituted benzene.

Answer:
Explanation:
A compound must have a net charge of 0. The charges have to balance each other out and equal 0.
We have the compound sulfur trioxide with a chemical formula of SO₃.
Oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2, which means it will have a charge of -2 in the compound. However, note there is a subscript after the O in the chemical formula. Therefore, there are 3 oxygen atoms in the compound and each one has a charge of -2. The oxygen has an overall charge of -6 because 3*-2 = -6.
There is only one atom of sulfur (there is no subscript, so a 1 is implied). It has to balance out the -6 charge of the oxygen atoms, so it must be +6.
The oxidation number for sulfur is +6 in the compound sulfur trioxide.
