What is the pH of 0.001 M aniline solution. The ionization constant of aniline is 4.3× 10^-10.Cálculate the degree of ionization of aniline in the solution. Also calculate the ionization constant for the conjugate acid of aniline?

Statement 1 : In strongly acidic solutions, aniline becomes more reactive towards electrophilic reagents Statement 2 : The amino group is protonated in strongly acidic solution, and thus the lone pair of electron on the nitrogen is no longer available for resonance.

Assertion : Controlled nitration of aniline at low temperature gives m-nitroaniline as one of the major product.s Reason : In acidic medium, -NH_(2) group is converted to overset(+)(-N)H_(3) group which is m-directing.
