hola mate..!!

Answer:-

Benzene is treated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid at a temperature not exceeding 50°C. As temperature increases there is a greater chance of getting more than one nitro group, -NO2, substituted onto the ring. Nitrobenzene is formed:

C6H6+HNO3→C6H5NO2+H2O(1)

or:

The concentrated sulfuric acid is acting as a catalyst.

The formation of the electrophile

The electrophile is the "nitronium ion" or the "nitryl cation",  NO+2 . This is formed by reaction between the nitric acid and the sulphuric acid.

HNO3+2H2SO4→NO+22HSO−4+H3O+(2)

The electrophilic substitution mechanism

hope it help..!!
