The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Aniline can be obtained by reduction of nitrobenzene with," we will analyze the options provided and determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compound**: We start with nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2), which contains a nitro group (-NO2) attached to a benzene ring. 2. **Understand the Reduction Process**: The reduction of nitrobenzene involves converting the nitro group (-NO2) to an amine group (-NH2), which is the structure of aniline (C6H5NH2). 3. **Evaluate the First Option: Fe and HCl**: - Iron (Fe) in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) acts as a strong reducing agent. - This combination can effectively reduce nitrobenzene to aniline. - The reaction can be summarized as: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NO}_2 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{NH}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \] - Thus, this option is valid. 4. **Evaluate the Second Option: Sn and NaOH**: - Tin (Sn) is a reducing agent, but when used in a basic medium (NaOH), it does not effectively reduce nitrobenzene. - Therefore, this option is incorrect. 5. **Evaluate the Third Option: Electrolytic Reduction under Strong Acidic Conditions**: - Although electrolytic reduction can reduce nitrobenzene, it typically requires weak acidic conditions, not strong acidic conditions. - Therefore, this option is also incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: The only correct method for reducing nitrobenzene to aniline from the given options is using Fe and HCl. ### Final Answer: Aniline can be obtained by reduction of nitrobenzene with **Fe and HCl**. ---
