QNEET-2016-Ch-1019: NEET 2016 Chemistry - Class 11 NEET-2016-Ch-1019 Solution: Consider the nitration of benzene using mixed conc. \(H_2SO_4\) …

Consider the nitration of benzene using mixed conc. H2SO4H_2SO_4 and HNO3HNO_3. If a large amount of KHSO4KHSO_4 is added to the mixture the rate of nitration will be unchanged doubled faster slower

Multiple Choice Options

  • A unchanged
  • B doubled
  • C faster
  • D slower

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

H 2 SO 4 + HNO 3 _ N O 2 + + H S O 4 _ + H 3 O + KHSO 4 _ K + + H S O 4 _ Due to common ion effect backward reaction will take place so the formation N O 2 + decrease so nitration process will become slower.
