it holds the carbocation that is formed in "soultion" so it is able to react to completion
Para-nitro acetanilide can be prepared from acetanilide by first reacting it with concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid to introduce the nitro group. The reaction should be carefully monitored to avoid excessive heat generation and the formation of unwanted by-products. After the reaction is complete, the product can be isolated and purified using appropriate techniques.
Nitric acid and sulfuric acid are added to acetanilide to facilitate the nitration reaction. Nitric acid provides the nitronium ion needed for nitration, while sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst and helps in protonating the acetanilide molecule. This process allows for the substitution of a nitro group onto the acetanilide molecule.
Synthesis of p-nitro acetanilide is carried out at low temperature to minimize side reactions and to control the rate of the nitration reaction. Low temperature helps to improve the selectivity of the reaction, favoring the desired product formation over potential byproducts.
Among the compounds listed, aniline is the most basic as it has a lone pair on the nitrogen atom that can readily accept a proton. Benzylamine and p-nitroaniline are less basic due to the presence of electron-withdrawing groups, while acetanilide has a resonance-stabilized amide group that reduces its basicity.
The reaction type is EAS (Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution). When dealing with aromatic substitutions you have to take into consideration what positions the different types of substitutes prefer. In this situation you are dealing with Nitro-groups (NO2), which are said to prefer meta. The mechanic itself is quite simple, you have to start out by figuring out the product of the reaction between the acids, which generate the nitro-group. What happens when you add H2SO4 and HNO3 together? (These are the most commonly used reagents in this reaction). You know that one nitro group is generated, the rest is simple. Just remember the ion from sulfur acid, this will play a key role later on. So NO2 groups are meta-positioning, thus the double bond from the aromat will attack NO2+. After that you draw the resonance, and finish with a hydrogen being attacked by the ion from sulfuric acid, returning the double bond and giving you your product.

p-nitro phenol has a symmetric structure as compare to o-nitro phenol so it has higher dipole moment or polarity so is more soluble.
Nitro Function was created in 1971.
No. 'Acetic' refers to acetic acid; a compound involving nitrogen is usually called nitro- and sulfur is called thio-.

For acetanilide, resonance delocalization of the nitrogen lone pair electrons to the aromatic ring is less favored because the positive charge on nitrogen is next to the positively polarized carbonyl group. Resonance delocalization to the carbonyl oxygen is favored because of the electronegativity of oxygen. Since the nitrogen lone pair electrons are less available to the ring than in aniline, the reactivity of the ring toward electrophilic substitution decreases.

The amide group on acetanilide is an ortho/para director, so a simple nitration should work: a mixture of sulfiric acid and nitric acid should be sufficient. Afterward, separation of the ortho and para compounds (by column chromatography, probably) would be necessary.
