Which of the following statements is not true about the sulfonation of benzene? Heating sulfuric acid leads to formation of the +503H electrophile. Sulfonation is irreversible. Sulfonation occurs through an electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism. The rate limiting step is formation of a resonance stabilized carbocation intermediate. Sulfonation results in an NO2 group attached to the aromatic ring
