An equimolar mixture of toluene and chlorobenzene is treated with a mixture of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` and conc. `HNO_(3)`. Indicate the correct statement from the following:

A

p-nitrotoluene is formed is excess

B

Equimolar amount of p-nitrotoluene and p-chloronitro benzene are formed.

C

p-chloronitrobenzene is formed in excess

D

m-chloronitrobenzene is formed in excess.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

both toluene and chlorobenzene can be nitrated under the reaction condition. However, `-CH_(3)` group is more reactive or activating as compared to `-Cl` atom. This means that p-nitrotoluene is formed in excess
