Answer :
3 Marks Question :
Question : Give reasons for the following :
(a) Unsaturated hydrocarbons show addition reactions but not saturated hydrocarbons.
(b) Carbon only forms covalent compounds.
Answer : (a) Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as ethene (C2H4) and ethyne (C2H2) have double or triple covalent bonds respectively. Hence they show addition reactions to form new single covalent bond while saturated hydrocarbons have only single covalent bonds so they do not show addition reaction.
(b) Carbon has four valence electrons. Thus, it is not in a position to donate/accept four electrons so as to acquire a stable neon gas like structure. Thus, in order to enter into a chemical reaction, it shares its valence electrons with other elements. So it forms only covalent compounds.
Question : (a) Define the term functional group. Identify the functional group present in the following compounds :
(b) What will you observe on adding a 5% alkaline potassium permanganate solution drop by drop to some warm ethanol taken in a test tube? Write the name of the compound formed during the above chemical reaction.
Answer : (a) Functional group : The functional group in an organic compound is an atom or a group of atoms bonded together in such a unique fashion, that it is usually the site of chemical reactivity of an organic molecule.
(b) On adding a 5% alkaline potassium permanganate solution, the pink colour of potassium permanganate fades at once, continue adding drops of potassium permanganate, till the colour stops fading. At this stage the ethanol is completely oxidised to ethanoic acid.
Question : (a) Write the names of :
(i) CH3 — CH2 — CHO
(ii) CH3 — CH2 — OH
(b) Name the gas evolved when an alcohol reacts with sodium. Give chemical equation for the reaction involved.

C2H6O, C2H6O2, C2H6, CH4O
Answer : (a) (i) Propanal (ii) Ethanol
(b) Ethanol reacts with sodium to give sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas.
2CH3CH2OH + 2Na → 2CH3CH2ONa + H2(g)
Ethanol Sodium Sodium ethoxide Hydrogen
(c) C2H6O and CH4O are of same homologous series.
Question : What is ethanol? Draw the structure of ethanol molecule. How does ethanol behave with the following:
(a) Sodium
(b) Excess of concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K?
Write chemical equation for each reaction.
Answer : Ethanol is the second member of the homologous series of alcohols.
Question : An organic compound ‘A’ is an essential constituent of wine and beer. Oxidation of ‘A’ yields an organic acid ‘B’ which is present in vinegar. Name the compounds ‘A’ and ‘B’ and write their structural formula. What happens when ‘A’ and ‘B’ react in the presence of an acid catalyst?
Write the chemical equation for the reaction.
Answer : ethyl alcohol is an essential constituent of wine and beer. Therefore, A is ethyl alcohol. Oxidation of ethyl alcohol gives acetic acid. Vinegar contains acetic acid. Therefore, B is acetic acid.
Question : (a) Distinguish between esterification and saponification reactions of organic compounds.
(b) With a labelled diagram to describe an activity to show the formation of an ester.
OR
Describe an activity to show the formation of an ester in the school laboratory.
Answer : (a) A chemical reaction in which an alcohol reacts with alkanoic acid to form a sweet smelling compound (ester) is called esterification.
A chemical reaction in which an ester gets hydrolysed in the presence of sodium hydroxide to form the constituent alcohol and sodium salt of the alkanoic acid is called saponification.
CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH → CH3COONa + C2H5OH
Ethyl ethanoate Sodium hydroxide Sodium acetate Ethanol
(b) Activity
Pour 1 ml of ethanol (absolute alcohol in a test tube).
Pour 1 ml of glacial acetic acid in the alcohol and then a few drops of conc. sulphuric acid.
Warm the contents of the test tube in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
Pour the contents of the test tube in another beaker containing 20 ml of water.
Smell the contents of the beaker. You will will find a sweet fruity smell. This smell is due to the formation of the ester, ethyl ethanoate.
Question : An ester has the molecular formula C4H8O2.Write its structural formula. What happens when this ester is heated in the presence of sodium hydroxide solution? Write balanced chemical equation for the reaction and name the products. What is a saponification reaction?
Answer :
The reaction between an ester and an alkali to form the sodium salt of an alkanoic acid and an alcohol is known as saponification.
Question : What is ethanol? State its two properties. What happens when it is heated with excess of concentrated H2SO4 at 443 K? What role does concentrated H2SO4 play in this reaction? Write chemical equation of the reaction involved and the structural formula of the main product formed.
Answer : ethanol is the second member of the homologous series of alcohols.
When ethanol is heated with excess of concentrated H2SO4 at 443 K it dehydrates to form ethene.
Question : (a) What is vinegar?
(b) Describe with a chemical equation, what happens when sodium hydrogen carbonate reacts with ethanoic acid?
Answer : (a) A 5 – 8% solution of acetic acid in water is known as vinegar.

Question : What is ethanoic acid? Write the formula of the functional group present in this acid. What special name is given to its 5 – 8% solution in water? How does ethanoic acid react with sodium carbonate? Write the chemical equation of the reaction and common name of the salt produced.
Answer : Ethanoic acid is the second member of the homologous series of alkanoic acid. Functional group in ethanoic acid is — COOH.5 – 8% solution of ethanoic acid in water is known as vinegar.
Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium carbonate to liberate carbon dioxide gas.
2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 → 2CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
The salt produced is sodium acetate.
Question : What is a homologous series of compounds? List any two characteristics of a homologous series.
Answer : A group of members of the same class of organic compounds which differ from each other by a – CH2 group when arranged in the ascending order of molecular mass is called a homologous series.
Characteristics of a homologous series :
(i) All members of a homologous series can be represented by a general formula.
(ii) Each member of a homologous series differs from the next member by a – CH2 group.
Case Study Based Question :
1. Read the following and answer the following Question :
The two characteristic features in carbon are tetravalency and catenation, which are put together give rise to a large number of compounds. Many have the same non-carbon atom or group of atoms attached to different carbon chains. Carbon compounds, except for oxides of carbon, carbonate and hydrogen carbonate salts study under organic chemistry.
The carbon compounds which contain carbon and hydrogen are called hydrocarbons. Among these, the saturated hydrocarbons are called alkanes. The unsaturated hydrocarbons containing one or more double bonds are called alkenes. Those containing one or more triple bonds are called alkynes.
Question : When a carbon atom shares electrons with the neighbouring carbon atoms, it forms a straight chain or a branched chain or a closed chains of carbon atoms, name such property of carbon.
Answer : Catenation
Question : Define the property of carbon mentioned in Question : (a).
Answer : The property of carbon atoms to link with other carbon atoms of the atoms of other elements with single, double or triple envalent bonds, so as to form a large number of compounds is called catenation.
Question : Give reasons for the following observation:
The element carbon forms a very large number of compounds.
Answer :
(i) Carbon has the unique ability to form bonds with other carbon atoms, so as to form long straight chains, branched chains and closed rings, giving rise to a large number of molecules.
(ii) Carbon atom has four valence electrons, therefore, it can bind itself with four more carbon atoms with single covalent bonds, or with different atoms of monovalent elements.
OR
A compound C (molecular formula, C2 H4 O2) reacts with Na-metal to form a compound R and evolves a gas which burns with a pop sound. Compound C on treatment with an alcohol A in the presence of an acid forms a sweet smelling compound S (molecular formula, C3H6O2). On addition of NaOH to C, it also gives R and water. S on treatment with NaOH solution gives back R and A.

Answer : C — Ethanoic acid
R — Sodium salt of ethanoic acid (sodium acetate) and gas evolved is hydrogen.
A — Methanol
S — Ester (methyl acetate)
