1.	Give reason : Nitration of benzene is not possible with only HNO_(3).
Answer» Solution :Benzene possess characteristic STABILITY and `pi`-BONDS on benzene is only BROKEN down with only strong ELECTROPHILE. Only `HNO_(3)`, produce `NO_(2)^(+)` which is not strong electrophile so does `NO_(2)^(+)` which is not strong electrophile so does not perfom NITRATION reaction.
