Benzene on nitration gives nitrobenzene in presence of \( \mathrm{HNO_3} \) and \( \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \) mixture, where:
both \( \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \) and \( \mathrm{HNO_3} \) act as an acids
\( \mathrm{HNO_3} \) acts as an acid and \( \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \) acts as a base
both \( \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \) and \( \mathrm{HNO_3} \) act as a bases
\( \mathrm{HNO_3} \) acts as a base and \( \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \) acts as an acid
