Which expression shows the mass in grams of 2,4,6‐trinitromethylbenzene formed from 10 g of methylbenzene if the yield of the reaction is 85%?
[Mr values: methylbenzene = 92 2,4,6‐trinitromethylbenzene = 227]
(10 × 85 × 227) ÷ (92 × 100)
(10 × 100 × 227) ÷ (92 × 85)
(10 × 100 × 227) ÷ (92 × 115)
(10 × 115 × 227) ÷ (92 × 100)

The reaction of ethene with bromine occurs under normal laboratory conditions but the reaction of benzene with bromine to form bromobenzene requires heat and the presence of a catalyst.
The best explanation for the difference in reactivity is that the delocalised electrons in benzene
repel electrophiles
result in a kinetic barrier to intermediate formation
result in benzene having an endothermic enthalpy of formation
make benzene thermodynamically stable with respect to the formation of bromobenzene
