Chemistry - Hydrocarbon Question with Solution | TestHub

Aliphatic nitro compounds are prepared by vapour phase nitration of alkanes at 693 $793\mathrm{K}$, under pressure. Alkanes though less reactive do undergo nitration to give a mixture of nitro alkanes resulting through cleavage of carbon-carbon bond alongwith oxidation product like ${\mathrm{CO}}_2,{\mathrm{NO}}_2,{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ etc.
