Questions Related to nitro compounds

Nitro benzene is used _________.

chemistry organic nitrogen compounds nitroarenes- preparation and properties nitro compounds types of organic reactions

  1. as a solvent

  2. In the manufacture of aniline

  3. In cheap scent

  4. All these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a solvent because it can dissolve a large number of polar substances (polar aprotic solvent)
It can be used to manufacture aniline because it can be reduced by stephen's reduction to anniline
It is also used as a scent because it has pleasant odour

Nitrobenzene is used as a/an ____________.

chemistry organic nitrogen compounds nitroarenes- preparation and properties nitro compounds types of organic reactions

  1. reducing agent

  2. oxidizing agent

  3. nitrating agent

  4. neutralizing agent

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Nitrobenzene can itself be reduced to aniline, so it acts as an oxidising agent.

  1. 2, 3, 6-Trinitrotoluene

  2. 3, 4, 5 -Trinitrotoluene

  3. 2, 3, 5 -Trinitrotoluene

  4. 2, 4, 6-Trinitrotoluene

Show answer
Correct Option: D

Nitro benzene is:
i) steam volatile 

ii) used as a solvent
iii) Aliphatic compounds 
Iv) lighter than water

chemistry organic nitrogen compounds nitroarenes- preparation and properties nitro compounds types of organic reactions

  1. (i) and (ii) are correct

  2. (iii) and (iv) are correct

  3. (i) and (iii) are correct

  4. (i) and (iv) are correct

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nitro benzene is steam volatile and is used as solvent. But it is an aromatic compound and is heavier than water. 

Assertion (A) : Nitro benzene on nitration gives m-dinitro benzene.
Reason (R) : $NO _{2}$ group is meta directing group.

chemistry organic nitrogen compounds nitroarenes- preparation and properties nitro compounds types of organic reactions

  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

  3. Assertion is correct and Reason is wrong.

  4. Assertion is wrong and Reason is correct.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nitro benzene on further nitration forms m - dinitro benzene as nitro group is meta directing group. Thus Assertion as well as Reason both are correct and Reason is correct explanation of Asseriton.

A.  Nucleophilic substitution reaction

What is obtained when nitrobenzene is treated sequentially with (i) ${ NH } _{ 4 }Cl/Zn$ dust and (ii) ${ H } _{ 2 }{ SO } _{ 4 }/{ Na } _{ 2 }{ Cr } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 7 }$ ?

chemistry organic nitrogen compounds nitroarenes- preparation and properties nitro compounds types of organic reactions

  1. Benzene

  2. Nitrosobenzene

  3. m-Chlorobenzene

  4. p-Chlorobenzene

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When Nitrobenzene first reacts with $NH _4Cl/Zn$ it forms phenyl hydroxylamine.

When this reacts with $H _2SO _4/ Na _2Cr _2O _7$ it gives Nitroso benzene as a product.
