JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 9. Hydricarbon
Given below are two statements :
Statement \(I\): Nitration of benzene involves the following step -
Statement \(II\): Use of Lewis base promotes the electrophilic substitution of benzene.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect
- B Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
- C Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are correct
- D Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Statement \(I\) is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In nitration of benzene concentrated \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) and \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) is used as reagent which generates electrophile \(\mathrm{NO}_2\) in following steps: Lewis acids can promote the formation of electrophiles not Lewis base
