Nitrobenzene is created by nitration of benzene with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and water. Producing nitrobenzene is one of the most dangerous processes preformed in the chemical industry.

∙ 13y agoAdd benzene, concentrated nitric acid and a small amount of concentarted sulfuric acid. Boil under reflux for 1 hour. Pour into cold water to neutralize the acid. Pour into a separating funnel. The organic layer (the product) will be on top. This should be washed and rinsed with a weak alakali and rinsed again. It may be optionally distilled to purify.

∙ 11y agoAdd benzene, concentrated nitric acid and a drop or two of concentrated sulfuric acid to a flask with a reflux condenser. Reflux for about 2 hours. Cool and pour carefully into cold water to dilute the acid. The organic layer should be on top. Decant the organic layer and rinse with sodium bicarbonate and water to remove the acid. Dry over anhydrous calcium sulfate. The product is nitrobenzene.

Why after a nitration reaction?
For example nitrobenzene is obtained by nitration of benzene.
Can benzene be replaced by nitrobenzene in friedel crafts alkylation?
The process would be unfavourable since the nitro (-NO2) group is strongly deactivating and would render the benzene ring in nitrobenzene less susceptible to electrophilic attack.
What is the vapor pressure of nitrobenzene at Boiling point and at 102 degree Celsius?
122
What are the Pharmacological uses of 4-nitrobenzene azo naphthol?
It is a dye used for fuels.
What is the different between benzene and nitro benzene?
Nitrobenzene has a nitro group.Benzene lacks that group
Reactant used to synthesize nitrobenzene?
benzene,as it can undergo nitration to give nitrobenzene
Can nitrobenzene produce nitronium ion?
no
What is the density of nitrobenzene at temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit?
74.009 pounds per cubic foot is the density of nitrobenzene at 100 degree Fahrenheit.
Why is nitrobenzene added to titration mixture?
to standardise the solution
Can you use the nitrobenzene to separate the aluminium and plastic from medicine stripes?
no
How many molecules are in 0.989 mol of nitrobenzene?
5.95378*1023
What is an aniline?
An aniline is an aromatic amine, synthesized by the reduction of nitrobenzene.

Why Nitrobenzene is used as a solvent in Friedel craft reaction?
1) it has high dielectric constant 2) Also AlCl3 can interact with the nitrobenzne to form complex C6H5NO2.AlCl3 which is soluble in excess nitrobenzene hence a good solvent....
