In the nitration of bromobenzene, a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid are added to the bromobenzene and stirred at room temperature. Why is it important to keep the reaction mixture at room temperature rather than heating it?

a. To prevent bromobenzene from evaporating out of solution.

b. To prevent bromobenzene from precipitating out of solution.

c. To prevent di-substituted products from forming.

d. To prevent meta-substituted products from forming.

e. To prevent meta-substituted and di-substituted products from forming.

b. To prevent bromobenzene from precipitating out of solution and e. To prevent meta-substituted and di-substituted products from forming

Explanation:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

it is the most commonly accepted one
