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 in excess

B

Equimolar amounts of p-nitrotoluene and p-nitrochlorobenzene are formed

C

p-nitrochlorobenzene is formed in excess

D

m-nitrochlorobenzene is formed in excess

Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
A
`CH_3`-group is an activating group while chloro group is a deactivating group towards electrophilic substitution reaction. Thus p-nitrotoluene is formed in excess
