Nitration of Methylbenzene
It's not covered in the book, so I took a crack at guessing the reaction equation, as I'm sure I have to know it. Can you tell me if this is correct?

Assuming it goes all the way to trinitro..
yes
Perfect, thank-you .
.effectively yes, but the reaction is a lot more complicated than that. The H2SO4 reacts with the HNO3 to give NO2+ ions that substitute onto the benzene ring.
