P-fluoroanisole reacts with sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid. draw the major product of this substitution reaction; if applicable

(Structure attached).

Explanation:

This type of reaction is an aromatic electrophilic substitution. The overall reaction is the replacement of a proton (H +) with an electrophile (E +) in the aromatic ring.

The aromatic ring in p-fluoroanisole has two sustituents, an halogen and a methoxy group, which are ortho-para directing substituents.

Aryl sulfonic acids are easily synthesized by an electrophilic substitution reaction aromatic using sulfur trioxide as an electrophile (very reactive).

The reaction occurs in three steps:

Normally, a mixture of ortho-para substituted products would be obtained. However, since both para positions are occupied, only the ortho substituted product is obtained here.

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
