Question

Nitrobenzene contains 5 hydrogen atoms, 6 carbon atoms, 2 oxygen atoms, and 1 nitrogen atom. what is the chemical formula for nitrobenzene?

Answer 1

The chemical formula of nitrobenzene is C6H5NO2.

From this formula, we can see that a molecule of nitrobenzene is made up of 6 carbon atoms, 5 hydrogen atoms, 1 nitrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Nitrobenze is an organic, aromatic, nitro compound which is insoluble in water. It has pale yellow colour but the colour turns to greenish yellow when the liquid is freezed. Nitrobenze is manufacture by the nitration of benzene with mixture of H2SO4 and HNO3. Nitrobenze can be used to mask unpleasant odors and also has perfume for soaps.

Answer 2

C₆H₅NO₂

Further explanation

Nitrobenzene contains:

• 5 hydrogen atoms,
• 6 carbon atoms,
• 2 oxygen atoms, and
• 1 nitrogen atom.

The chemical formula for nitrobenzene is C₆H₅NO₂.

Nitrobenzene is one of benzene derivatives, precisely including the type of monosubstituted benzenes.

The molecular structure of phenyl  $\boxed{ \ C_6H_5- \ }$ is formed by removing one H atom from the benzene $\boxed{ \ C_6H_6 \ }$ molecule. A substituent is bound to the C atom which loses the H atom so it is called monosubstituted benzene.

In the naming of monosubstituted benzenes, benzene is the parent name and the substituent is indicated by a prefix.

• nitro is the substituent
• benzene is the parent name

When benzene is reacted with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, it yields nitrobenzene.

$\boxed{ \ C_6H_6 + HNO_2 \ (with \ H_2SO_4 \ in \ 30^0C-40^0C) \rightarrow C_6H_5NO_2 + H_2O}$

Notes:

• Benzene and compounds having similar chemical properties to benzene are called aromatic compounds.
• Benzene is a colorless, poisonous liquid with a specific odor. it dissolves in organic solvents in organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, and acetic acid. Benzene is also good for non-polar substances.
• Nitrobenzene is used in the manufacture of aniline and other organic chemicals. Nitrobenzene is a pale yellow, oily, and highly toxic liquid with the odor of bitter almonds.
