To avoid carcinogenicity by the use of benzene to be chlorinated to become chlorobenzene could it be possible to convert far less toxic toluene to chlorobenzene?

No, it is impossible and useless, besides both chloro-methylbenzene (phenylchloride, as intermediate product) and chlorobenzene (final) are also carcinogenic

Write a reaction showing chlorobenzene plus sulfuric acid and heat?
it's a slfonation and made benzene sulfonyl chloride
Is chlorobenzene polar or non polar?
Biphenyl has equal charges on both benzene rings, this material is non polar
Why dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride?
In chlorobenzene, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom(more 's' character). In cyclohexyl chloride, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom (less's' character than hybridized carbon atom). Hence chlorobenzene is more electronegative than cyclohexyl chloride. Therefore, the density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom is less in chlorobenzene than cyclohexyl chloride.The density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom in chlorobenzene decreases due to the -R effect of the benzene ring which is not in cyclohexyl chloride. Due to this polarity of the C-Cl bond decreases and hence dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than cyclohexyl chloride.
Why does chlorobenzene give ortho and para products during electrophilic substitution reaction?
As there is an availability of lone pair of electrons on chlorine, it directs the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution at ortho and para positions.. When we will draw the resonating structures of chloro benzene,we will see that negative charge resides at orho and para positions..
How do you convert chloro benzene to p-nitro phenol?
I'd do it this way. Use Dow's Process (NaOH) to convert chlorobenzene to phenol. Now, use nitrating mixture to get both o and p- nitrophenol. Fractional distillation should give you what you finally need.
Which benzene is used in dry cleaning?
Chlorobenzene is used in dry cleaning.
What will happen if you add Sodium Benzoate to chlorinated water?
Benzene

How will you synthesis of phenol in small scale'?
There are many known syntheses of phenol. However, a few simple ones are: 1) hydrolysis of chlorobenzene: - chlorobenzene + water --> phenol + hydrochloric acid 2) oxidation of toluene: - toluene + oxygen --> phenol + carbon dioxide + water 3) oxidation of benzene with nitrous oxide: - benzene + nitrous oxide --> phenol + nitrogen
Why the polymerisation of benzene is not possible?
it is possible
What are the Example of an ideal solution?
Ideal Solutions are those which obey Raoult's Law at all concentrations and Temperatures. Some examples of ideal solution liquid pairs are benzene and toluene, n-heptane and n-hexane, ethyl bromide and ethyl iodide, chlorobenzene and bromo benzene etc.

How do you use a phenopthalene indicator?
phenols can be prepared by the following methods. 1) hydrolysis of cholorobenzene: in this process, chlorobenzene which can be obtained by the cholorinationof benzene, is heated at 350*C under high pressure with aqueous sodium hydroxide to get sodium phenoxide, which on acidification yields phenol. 2) pyrolosis of sodium benzenesulphonate: this, the first commercial process for industrial synthesizing phenol , was developed in Germany in 1890. sodium benzenesulphonate is melted with sodium hydrooxide at 350*C to produce sodium phenoxide, which on acidification yields phenol. 3) oxidaton of cumene: benzene is alkylated with propene to produce cumene, which is oxidized with air to produce cumene hydroperoxide, which on treatment with 10% sulfuric acid undergoes a hydrolytic rearrangement to yield phenol and acetone.
