✦ Synopsis

MononItration of toluene and benzene has been camed out m a larnmar Jet usmg aqueous muttures of mtnc and sulphurlc acids With acid mrxtures contammg about 30 mole % H,SO,, the rate data obtamed are m good agreement with values predIcted usmg a model, assummg fast reaction m a zone m the aqueous phase adjacent to the interface, m conJunction with dfiuswlhes measured under lammar conditions At low H,SO. concentrahons, the rate data fit a sunple kmetlc model It IS shown that the model based on mass transfer with sunultaneous chenucal reactlon can explam previously reported results for the competltlve mtratlon of toluene and benzene m the heterogeneous hqmd phase regme
