Thanks for the help. Just to ease your mind it wasn't for homework help, they were those questions "thought questions" at the end of my lab, and I was just curious because I couldn't figure it out. Thanks though, your posting did help me.

I need help coming up with an explanation for these. I am lost. 1. Nitration of aniline with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid produces mostly m-nitroaniline. Why? 2. How does the basicity of the nitrogen atom of acetanilide compare with that for aniline?
