Answer:
The first step in the nitration of benzene is to activate HNO3with sulfuric acid to produce a stronger electrophile, the nitronium ion. Because the nitronium ion is a good electrophile, it is attacked by benzene to produce Nitrobenzene

Benzene is heated with nitrating mixture to form nitrobenzene.The reaction is known as nitration .It is aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction.
Mechanism:—
Mechanism of nitration of benzene is simple and two stepped. First step consists of attack of nitronium ions on the benzene ring to form aerenium ion.
In second step aerenium ion loses proton to form niteobenzene.
