An equimolar mixture of toluene and chlorobenzene is treated with a mixture of conc. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) and conc. \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\). Indicate the correct statement from the following.
- A \(p\) -nitrotoluene is formed in excess
- B equimolar amounts of \(p\) -nitrotoluene and p-nitrochlorobenzene are formed
- C \(p\) -nitrochlorobenzene is formed in excess
- D \(m\) -nitrochlorobenzene is formed in excess
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(p\) -nitrotoluene is formed in excess
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As toluene and chlorobenzene, both can react with mixture of conc. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) and conc. HNO \(_{3}\). but being more reactive, toluene will yield p-nitrotoluene in excess.
