                    Page number 71 

Q8 . Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction 

Answer  

Oxidation reaction is nothing but the addition of Oxygen and the removal of hydrogen atom from any compound and during the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid the two hydrogens remove and one oxygen is added so it is oxidation reaction 

Q9 . A mixture of Oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used ? 

Answer  

For the welding high temperature is required but when ethyne is burnt in air it undergoing incomplete combustion and release the lot of smoke  and and temperature is not very high so avoid that situation .The mixture of ethyne and oxygen is used 

2CH  = CH + 5O2→4CO2 + 2H2O + Heat + Light

                    Page number 74 .

Q10. How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and carboxylic acid 

Answer  

Alcohol and carboxylic acid can be distinguished by following reaction . 

Reaction with Sodium bicarbonate .

When carboxylic acid react with sodium carbonate it gives bricks effervescence of CO2 gas while alcohol do not react with it 

CH3COOH+ NaOH   →   CH3COONa + H2

CH3CH2OH+ NaOH     →      No reaction

Reaction with base 

Carboxylic acid react with base to form salt and water while alcohol do not react with base 

CH3COOH+ NaHCO3      →       CH3COONa +  H2O + CO

CH3CH2OH+  NaHCO3   →      No reaction

Q11. What are oxidising agents ?

Answer 

The substance that are capable to providing the oxygen to other substance are called oxidizing agent 

Example - Potassium per magnet  ( KMnO4

and Potassium dichromate ( K2Cr2O7

Page number 76 

Q12. Would you be able to check if water is hard by using a detergent ?

Answer    

No we are unable to check if the water is hard by using a detergent because does a detergent does not form a foam with hard water

Q 13. People use a variety of methods to wash clothes usually after adding the soap they beat the clothes on the stone or beat it with a paddle scrub with a brush or the mixture is agitated in a washing machine why is agitation necessary to get clean clothes ?

Answer.  

Clothes are soaked in a soap solution then the dirt form a micelles with the soap solution and to loosen the dust particle in the form of micelles it is necessary to scrapped the cloth or beaten or agitated in washing machine


                Exercise 

Q1. Methane with a molecular formula C2 H6 has 

a) 6 covalent bonds

 b)  7 covalent bonds 

c) 8 covalent bonds 

d) 9 covalent bonds 

Answer  - 7 covalent bond

Q2. Butanone is a four carbon compound with the functional group 

a) Carboxylic acid 

b)  Aldehyde 

c) Ketone 

d) Alcohol  

Answer  - Ketone

Q3. While cooking if the bottom of the vessel is getting blackened on the outside it means that 

a) The food is not cook completely 

b) The fuel is not burning completely 

c) The fuel is wet 

d) The fuel is burning completely 

Answer  - The fuel is not burning completely

Q4. Explain the nature of covalent bond using the bond formation in  CH3Cl 

Answer  

 A CH3Cl is a chloromethane which contain one carbon atom three  hydrogen atom and one chlorine atom all these are bounded by covalent bond this bond formed by the sharing of  electron because carbon has four electrons in its valence shell and to complete its octet  .It needs to gain the four electron or to lose the four electron but it is quite impossible  so that  carbon atom form a bond with other atom by sharing of electron and this bond is known as covalent bond 

Electronic configuration of carbon ( 6)  = -(2 ,4) 

Electronic configuration of hydrogen (1)= 1

Electronic configuration of chlorine ( 17)= (2,8,7)

Q5 . Electron dot structure for 

a) Ethanoic acid  

b) H2

c) Propanone  

d) F 

Answer 



Q6. What is an homologous series explain with an example 

Answer  

A Series of a compound in which the same functional group substitute and same chemical properties of two successive members of series  is called homologous series 

Example - alkane series CnH2n + 2 

  • CH4   - Methane
  •  C2 H6    -  Ethane
  •  C3H8-  Propane
  •  C4 H10  - Butane 
  • C5 H12     -  Pentane

Q7. How can ethanol and ethanoic acid be differentiated on the basis of their physical and chemical properties 

Answer  

On the basis of physical properties 

  • Smell of the ethanoic acid has pungent while ethanol has pleasant smell 
  • Ethanoic acid is solid while ethanol is liquid at room temperature
  • Melting point of ethanol is low 156 K while the ethanoic acid is high 290 k 

On the basis of chemical properties 

  • Ethanoic acid react with bases like anywhere and queue used to form salt and water while ethanol does not react with them 
  • CH3COOH + NaOH.   →  CH3COONa + H2
  • CH3COOH+KOH →  CH3COOK+H2

Q8. Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water ? will  a micelle be formed in other solvents such as ethanol also ? 

Answer  .

Green soap added to water at the surface of water the hydrophobic and or tail of the soap will be in soluble in water and the soap being  and now with the surface of water with the ionic and inverter and the hydrocarbon producing out of water

Q9 . Why are carbon and its compound used as a fuel for most applications 

Answer  

Carbon burn in air produced carbon dioxide and water , during this reaction large amount of heat and light energy is released . so, they are used as a fuel .

C +  O →   CO+ Heat+ Light  

Q10. Explain the formation of scum when hard water is treated with soap 

Answer  

Soap contains Sodium and potassium salt while hard water contains calcium and magnesium ion when soap is added to hard water then calcium and magnesium salts are formed these are insoluble in water and get  precipitated .This precipitates are called scum 

Reaction shown by scum 

Ca 2+ + 2 R COONa.   →  (RCOO)2 Ca + 2 Na

Hard water +  soap       →    Calcium salt precipitate 

Mg2+   + 2 R COONa.  →   (RCOO)2 Mg + 2 Na

Hard water  + soap      →    Magnesium salt precipitate

Q11. What change will you observe if you test soap with litmus paper ( red and blue) 

Answer  

Soap turns red litmus paper into blue and have no effect on the blue litmus paper because soap is alkaline in nature

Q12. What is hydrogenation what is its industrial application

Answer   

The addition of hydrogen to unsaturated hydrocarbons in the presence of catalyst is known as hydrogenation 

Industrial application 

When hydrogen gas is passed through vegetable oil in presence of nickel catalyst it changes to solid fat (ghee) 

Vegetable oil + H2.  →    fat ( ghee)  




Q13 Which of the following hydrocarbon undergo addition 

C2 H6 ,C3 H8 ,C3 H6 ,C2 H2 and CH4 

Answer  

Unsaturated hydrocarbon like alkenes and alkynes containing double and triple bond so they are undergoing addition reaction 

C3 H6 , C2 H2 , will undergo in addition 

 reaction

Q14. Give a test that can be used to differentiate between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons 

Answer 

Butter contain saturated compounds while cooking oil contain unsaturated compounds when unsaturated compounds are oxidized by alkaline KMnO4 it disappears its pink colour when cooking oil is treated with alkaline KMnO4 pink colour of KMnO4disappears  but with butter the pink colour of KMnO4does not disappear

Q15. Explain the mechanism of the cleaning action of soaps 

Answer  

Soap molecules have different properties at their two ends hydrophilic and hydrophobic at the surface of water the hydrophilic end it will be in soluble in water and the soap in a lying along the surface of water with the ionic and in water of hydrocarbon tail protruding out of water 

Inside the water the molecule shows the similar orientation that gives the hydrocarbon portion out of the water this form a cluster of molecules is called micelle 

It is easily to clean out from water
