Question

2.) Explain in terms of energy of activation why the amount of the di-nitration increases if the temperature of the reaction is too high. 3, In the Introduction section, it was mentioned that the carbomethoxy group is a meta director. Explain why nitration of methyl benzoate is unlikely to occur at the para position as opposed to the meta position. You should use resonance structures as part of your answer. Indicate the major product(s) you would expect to form upon mono-nitration of these compounds: benzophenone, anisole, benzoic acid, phenyl acetate (a compound with the same molecular formula as methyl benzoate). 4.

Explanation / Answer

Q no 2

The amount of di-nitration increases with increase in temperature this is because increase in temperature is directly proportional to Fraction of molecules giving active collision. (Ne/N)
{Ne/N} where, Ne = no of molecules giving active collision
N= No of molecules.
also the rate of reaction increases with increase in temperature which means when the temperature increases the amount of product also increases.
