Q19 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (21 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which one of the following is not present in the nitration mixture?

  • A
    N+O2
  • B
    HSO4-
  • Correct answer
    C
    SO42-
  • D
    H2O

Solution

A mixture of concentrated nitric acid with organic or inorganic compounds containing  NO2+ ion is called nitration mixture.

2H2SO4 + HNO3 → NO2+  + H3O+ + HSO4-

So, SO42- ions are not present in nitration mixture.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
