Nitration happens when one (or more) of the hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring is replaced by a nitro group, NO2.
Benzene is treated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulphuric acid at a temperature not exceeding 50°C. The mixture is held at this temperature for about half an hour. Yellow oily nitrobenzene is formed.
