Question
Which of the following will NOT result in a greater degree of nitration than the reaction conditions we employed?
A. Running the reaction at higher temperature
B. Letting the reaction proceed longer
C. Adding sulfuric acid
D. Decreasing the concentration of the nitric acid
How many moles of acid are contained in 1.0 mL on concentrated nitric
acid-- at the concentration we used in lab(16M)?
What is the most likely position for the second nitro group in the event of over nitration?
A. Carbon 2 on the ring
B. Carbon 3 on the ring
C. Carbon 5 on the ring
D. Carbon 6 on the ring
E. On the methyl group at position 4
The dinitroproduct, which is formed in the major side reaction, is more polar than the mononitro product.
A. True
B. False
Explanation / Answer
Ans D decreasing the concentration of nitric acid
Nitration involves adding of nitro group to the compound by adding a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid. So decreasing the concentration of nitric acid will decrease the nitration and not increase it.
