Question. A mixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding. Can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used?
Answer : If air is used, incomplete combustion will take place giving a sooty flame and less heat is produced. When pure oxygen is used ethyne burns completely producing large amount of heat and blue flame. This heat is sufficient for a metal to melt and welding is done.
Question. What are oxidising agents?
Answer : The compounds which add oxygen to other substance are known as oxidising agent.
For example, alkaline potassium permanganate solution and acidified potassium dichromate, both can convert alcohol into carboxylic acid, i.e., ethanoic acid.
Question. People use variety of methods to wash clothes. Usually after adding the soap, they ‘beat’ the clothes on a 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 : Soap lowers the surface tension of water. The long chain non-ionic hydrocarbon group in soap gets attached to the oil or grease droplets and loosens them from the fibres of cloth along with the dirt. However this loosening is insufficient to remove the grease with dirt completely. Hence the clothes are agitated to remove the grease droplets completely.
Question. Explain the nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in CH3Cl.
Answer : Bond formation in CH3Cl
Question. What is an homologous series? Explain with an example.
Answer : It is a group of members of same class of organic compound having similar chemical properties, they have same general formula.
They have same functional group, when arranged in the ascending order of molecular mass they differ by 14 a.m.u. or —CH2 group.
Question. 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 : Soap molecules have two ends with different properties. One end is hydrophilic, which dissolves in water and other end is hydrophobic, it dissolves in hydrocarbons. When soap is added to water, the ionic end of soap will form a unique orientation and keep the hydrocarbon tail away from it.
The cluster of molecules is formed in which the hydrophobic tails are in the interior of the cluster and the ionic ends are on the surface of the cluster. Hence, micelle formation takes place.
Soap is soluble in ethanol hence the micelle formation will not take place.
Question. Explain the formation of scum when hard water is treated with soap.
Answer : Hard water contains salts of calcium and magnesium. When soap molecule comes in contact with these salts it forms a curdy white precipitate (compound insoluble in water) called scum.
Soap + Hard water ⎯→ scum
Question. What is hydrogenation? What is its industrial application?
Answer : When unsaturated hydrocarbons (double/triple bond) are reacted with hydrogen in presence of a catalyst like nickel, the hydrogen gets added across the double/triple
bond and converts the unsaturated hydrocarbon into saturated hydrocarbon. Such reaction is called addition reaction or hydrogenation.
Question. Give a test that can be used to differentiate chemically between butter and cooking oil.
Answer : Butter is saturated compound and oil is unsaturated compound.
alk. potassium permanganate + Unsaturated → Pink colour disappear.
(Pink colour) hydrocarbon
Therefore, when we add oil to a test tube containing alkaline potassium permanganate solution, the pink colour of the solution disappear. Colour of alkaline potassium permanganate will not disappear in the test tube containing butter.

Answer: Carbon has tetravalency and catenation
Quetion. What is a micelle? Draw the structure of the missile that would be formed if we dissolve soap in a hydrocarbon.
Answer: The molecule of soap constitutes sodium or potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids. In the case of soaps, the carbon chain dissolves in oil and the ionic end dissolves in water. Thus, the soap molecules form structures called micelles. In micelles, one end is towards the oil droplet and the other end which is the ionic faces outside.) (draw the structure of micelle
Quetion. How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid?
Answer: Carboxylic acid and Alcohol can be distinguished by using Sodium bicarbonate as, Carboxylic acid produces a brisk effervesce when reacted with it, whereas Alcohols do not produce anything when reacted with Sodium bicarbonate.

Answer: P. Q and R are alkenes because their general formula is CnH2n
Quetion. Which of these has maximum number of carbon atoms in the molecule and why?
Answer: Compound R has maximum number of carbon atoms because boiling point increase with molecular mass which depends on number of C atoms
Quetion. Write the name and structural formula of the second member of this series.
Answer: Name: propane
Structural formula: CH3-CH=CH2
Quetion. Write the name and molecular formula of an organic compound having its name suffixed with 'ol' and having two carbon atoms in its molecule. Write a balanced chemical equation to indicate what happens when this compound is heated with excess conc. H2SO4 and the name of the main product formed. Also state the role of conc. H2SO4 in the reaction.
Answer: Alcohols have 'ol' suffix. Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is alcohol with 2 carbon.
When ethanol is heated with excess concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K, dehydration takes place and ethene is formed. In this reaction concentrated sulphuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent.
CH3CH2OH+H2SO4→CH2=CH2+H2O+H2SO4

Quetion. What are covalent compounds? How are the different from ionic compounds? List any two properties of covalent compounds.
Answer: Covalent compounds - Covalent compounds are compounds which are formed by sharing of electrons between atoms of compounds.
Ionic compounds - Ionic compounds are those compounds which are formed by the transfer of electrons.
Difference-
Ionic bonds are between metals and non
Covalent bonds have low melting and ionic compounds have high melting point.
Properties of covalent compounds :-
(1) Low boiling points
(2) Poor conductors of heat and electricity
