Question
Chapter 17.3, Problem 17.3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The accelerated rate of nitration in p-Xylene is to be explained with the help of resonance structures.
Concept introduction:
Nitrobenzene is formed when benzene reacts with hot concentrated nitric acid. This reaction is explosive as well as hazardous. A mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid is used to avoid such type of explosion. Sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst and allows the reaction to occur at lower temperatures as well as at high rate.
