Q: Nitrobenzene can be prepared from benzene by using a mixture of conc. $HNO_3$ and conc. $H_2SO_4.$ In the mixture, nitric acid acts as a/an

b Proton donor is acids and proton acceptor is bases. Conc. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ and conc. HNO $_{3}$ react in the following manner: $\mathrm{HNO}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{+}+\mathrm{HSO}_{4}^{-}$ $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{2}^{+}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ Hence, in this reaction HNO $_{3}$ acts as a base and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ as an acid.
