Consider the nitration of bezene using mixed conc of and
. If a large amount of
is added to the mixture, tne rate of nitration will be
faster
slower
unchanged
doubled
Effect of concentration change on equilibrium -
When the concentration of any of the reactants or products in a reaction at equilibrium is changed, the composition of the equilibrium mixture changes so as to minimize the effect of concentration change. If we add reactant, the equilibrium shift towards right.
-
In the nitration of benzene in the presence of conc. H2SO4 and HNO3, benzene is formed.
+
If a large amount of is added to this mixture more HSO4- ion furnishes and hence the concentrate of electrophile decreases, rate of electrophile aromatic reaction slows down.
