Question

Which catalyst is used in bromination of toulene?
(A) FeBr₃
(B) FeSO₄
(C) FeCl₃
(D) AlBr

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A is correct

FeBr3 is the catalyst used in bromination of Toluene

Answer 2

FeBr3 is the catalyst used in bromination of Toluene

Explanation:

During a reaction between toluene and Br2, we use FeBr3 as a catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that is added to a reaction in order to increase the rate of reaction rate, but the catalyst in itself does not get consumed in the process.

In the reaction between toluene and Br2, FeBr3 helps in the formation of ortho and para bromotoluene. So bromine becomes more electrophillic and reacts with the benzene ring of toluene. The reaction will end when there is no bromine left.
