b) CH3  CH2  Cl
Ans: Chloroethane

2. Define Soaps?
Ans: A substance used with water for washing and cleaning, made of a compound of
natural oils or fats with sodium hydroxide or another strong alkali. These are
represented by RCOONa or RCOOR .

7. Which organic compound is added to make ethanol unfit for drinking


purposes? What is the name of the mixture formed?
Ans: Methanol is highly poisonous and is added in small amount to ethanol in order to
make it unfit for drinking purposes. This mixture is called methylated spirit or
denatured alcohol.

8. Write a test to identify the presence of Ethanoic acid?


Ans: Dip a strip of blue litmus paper in the solution of Ethanoic acid. Its color changes
to red and Ethanoic acid gives a sweet-smelling compound called ester when treated
with Ethanol

9. What are the properties of carbon which lead to huge number of carbon
compounds we see around us?
Ans: The two properties of carbon which lead to the huge number of carbon
compounds we see around us are Catenation and Tetravalence . The self-linking
property called catenation. As Carbon is tetravalent it can readily unite with atoms like
hydrogen, oxygen etc by sharing electrons.

10. Name the following compound.

Class X Science www.vedantu.com 6


b) CH3  CH2  CH2  C  CH
Ans: Hex -1- yne

11. Why conversion of ethanol into ethanoic acid is an oxidation reaction?


Ans: Ethanoic acid has one or more O2 atom and two hydrogen atoms less than
ethanol. Loss of hydrogen is known as oxidation and gain of oxygen is known as
reduction. Therefore it is an oxidation reaction.

12. A mixture of ethyne and oxygen is used for welding. Can you justify why a
mixture of ethyne and air is not used?
Ans: When ethyne is burnt in oxygen, it gives a clean flame with high temperature
because of the complete combustion of ethyne. Hence, this oxyacetylene flame is used
for welding, and it is not possible to attain a high temperature with air. Air contains
mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. As nitrogen is more in amount it does not support
combustion. Because of this mixture of ethyne and air is not used for welding.

13. Why carbon and its compounds are used as fuels in most cases?
Ans: Carbon compounds are used as fuel because they burn with a clean flame and no
smoke is produced which is highly exothermic . Carbon compounds have higher
maximum ignition temperature and their combustion can be restrained. Hence, carbon
and its compounds are a great source of fuel.

14. A compound X has the molecular formula C3H6O with structural formula
CH3CH2CHO .Give its IUPAC name. Can another compound have the same
molecular formula? Give the structure and IUPAC name of that compound
also.
Ans: The IUPAC name of X is propanol.
Another similar compound is Y is.

X and Y are related to each other as functional isomers.

15. Why CHO group cannot be present in the middle of the carbon atom chain?
Ans: The terminal functional group is CHO group and as three valencies of the C-atom
is already satisfied; this group cannot be present in the middle of the chain.
