Why is keeping the D.V.S ratio high, a stability factor?(a) Tends to complete nitration and esterification reaction(b) Accumulation of incompletely nitrated material(c) All of the mentioned(d) None of the mentionedThe question was asked in examination.My doubt is from Mixed Acids for Nitration topic in section Nitration of Unit Processes

Answer»

The correct option is (a) Tends to complete nitration and esterification reaction

Easiest EXPLANATION: Since increasing D.V.S. tends to drive the nitration or esterification FARTHER toward COMPLETION, whereas lower D.V.S. would permit accumulation of incompletely nitrated MATERIAL, along with increased dilution, and this would be favourable to oxidation reactions.
