What is the purpose of adding a small amount of concentrated sulfuric acid into reaction mixturewhy?

In this reaction, sulfuric acid works as a catalyst, thus if it was removed, the reaction wouldn't occur as quickly, if at all. H2SO4 speeds up the reaction to make it occur more quickly and efficiently.

∙ 13y agoCould you please be a bit more specific, because usually it is not, depending on the product being acetylized. My best guess would be that it is being used as a catalyst for the reaction, in which case 'concentrated' Sulphuric acid would be used (very carefully). There are a number of other catalysts that could be used, again depending on the product in queston.

How do you neutralize sulfuric acid?
Sulfuric acid or any other acid can be simply neutralized by its reaction with a substance of basic nature. For instance you can alkali or alkaline earth metals' hydroxides for it. If you sodium hydroxide for the purpose then the reaction would be like : 2NaOH + H2SO4 --> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

What is nitrolium?
The nitronium ion, or sometimes the nitryl ion(incorrect because it is not a radical), NO+2, is a generally reactive cation created by the removal of an electron from the paramagnetic nitrogen dioxide molecule, or the protonation of nitric acid.It is reactive enough to exist in normal conditions, but it is used extensively as an electrophile in the nitration of other substances. The ion is generated in situ for this purpose by mixing concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid according to the equilibrium:2 H2SO4 + HNO3 → 2 HSO−4 + NO+2 + H3O+
