Vedclass · Answer

(B) Benzene is an aromatic compound that undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions rather than addition reactions. $1$. $Br_2$ water does not react with benzene because it requires a Lewis acid catalyst (like $FeBr_3$) to undergo electrophilic substitution. $2$. Benzene reacts with concentrated $HNO_3$ in the presence of concentrated $H_2SO_4$ (nitrating mixture) to form nitrobenzene via electrophilic substitution. $3$. $H_2O$ and $CH_3OH$ do not react with benzene under normal conditions.
