Nitrobenzene can be prepared from benzene by using a mixture of conc. HNO3 and conc. H2SO4. In the mixture, nitric acid acts as a/an

  1. acid
  2. base
  3. catalyst
  4. reducing agent

Answer

(2) base

Solution

In the nitrating mixture, H2SO4 (stronger acid) donates a proton to HNO3:

HNO3 + 2H2SO4 NO2+ + H3O+ + 2HSO4-

HNO3 accepts a proton, it behaves as a Brønsted base; the nitronium ion NO2+ formed is the electrophile.

Answer: (2)
