∙ 12y agomethyl increases the electron density of the benzene ring and so the electron densities of the ortho para positions are high. hence it directs the newly attaching groups to ortho and para positions....

What is tnt?
Tri-nitro toluene. Toluene is a benzene ring with a methyl group attached. The nitration of this to TNT occurs at the 2,4,6 positions.
Why methyl aclcohol soluble in water and benzene is not?
The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.
What is the formation formula of methyl benzene?
The formula is C7H8.
Structural formula for p-xylene?
The structural formula for p-xylene is C8H10. It consists of a benzene ring with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon atom.
What is the group difference between toluene and benzene?
Benzene - a six carbon, six hydrogen [planar] ring - C6H6 - has no side-groups. Yet when any one single side-hydrogen is replaced with one Methyl (-CH3) Group, we have Toluene. Short Answer = one methyl group.

What is the chemical formula for methyl benzene?
Formula: C6H5CH3
Structural formula for p-xylene?
The structural formula for p-xylene is C8H10. It consists of a benzene ring with a methyl group attached to the fourth carbon atom.
What separation method do you use to separate benzene from a mixture of benzene and methyl benzene?
since benzene has a very less boiling point , it will evaporate easily if the mixture is heated . Thus we can obtain the vapour and condense it to obtain solid benzene
Why doesn't hydrogen-chloride dissolve in methyl-benzene?
because change happens
What are the products of a toluene-sulfuric acid reaction?
toulene+sulphuric acid = o-methyl benzene sulphonic acid + p-methyl benzene sulphonic acid. Since methly group is ortho and para directed group so it activates benzene ring for electrophilic substitution reaction.
What are the differences based the structural features differences of toluene and ethanol?
Each is a completely different molecule. Toluene has a benzene ring with a methyl group attached, Ethanol is a 2 carbon chain with 5 hydrogen atoms and one OH group attached.
What is additive in fuel?
Some additives I know of Ethyl methyl lead (octane booster and upper cylinder lube) Methyl Benzene (octane booster)
What happens when hydrochloride in dry form is dissolved in methyl benzene?
pH less than 7
