Q. What will be the main product, when benzene vapours are passed over $ {{V}_{2}}{{O}_{5}} $ at $ 450{}^\circ C $ ?

MGIMS WardhaMGIMS Wardha 2003

Solution:

Maleic anhydride is obtained by the oxidation of benzene in the presence of $ {{V}_{2}}{{O}_{5}} $ at $ 450{}^\circ C $ . $ 2{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}+9{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{{450}^{o}}C]{{{V}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}} $
