The given statement is True.
Explanation:
- The Nitration of benzene is done by replacing one or more hydrogen of benzene by a nitro group([tex]NO_{2}[/tex]).
- Benzene is nitrated with concentrated nitric and sulfuric acid.
- Benzene in the presence of concentrated nitric acid and the concentrated sulphuric acid mixture is subjected to high temperatures, forming a yellow-colored substance. This, a yellow colored substance formed is nitrobenzene.
[tex]C_{6}H_{6} + (HNO_{3} + H_{2}SO_{4})[/tex] → [tex]C_{6}H_{5}NO_{2} +H_{2}O[/tex]
Benzene Nitrobenzene
Thus, the given statement is true.
