Que-1: A compound X when treated with an organic acid Y (having vinegar like smell) in the presence of the acid Z, forms a compound P which has fruity smell.
(a) Identify X, Y and Z
(b) Write structural formula of X and Y.
(c) What type of compound P is?
(d)Name the above reaction.
(e) If compound X and Y both have 2 carbon atoms. Write the reaction.
Ans:
(a) X = Ethanol, C2H5OH
Y = Acetic acid, CH3COOH
Z = Conc. H2SO4
(b)

(c) Compound P is an ester named ethyl acetate.

Que-2: Compound A is bubbled through bromine dissolved in carbon tetrachloride and the product is CH2Br – CH2Br.
(a) Draw the structural formula of A.
(b) What type of reaction has A undergone?
(c) What is your observation?
(d) Name (not formula) the compound formed when steam reacts with A in the presence of phosphoric acid.
(e) What is the procedure for converting the product of (e) back to A?
Ans:
(a) H2C = CH2
(b) Addition reaction
(c) Bromine solution gets decolourised
(d) Ethanol
(e) By heating it (ethanol) with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170°C
Que-3: Draw the structural formula for each of the following-
(a) Ethanoic acid
(b) But-2-yne
(c) Methanoic acid
(d) Ethanal
(e) Ethyne
(f) Acetone
(g) 2-methyl propane
(h) An isomer of n-butane
(i) 2-propanol
(j) ethanol
(k) 1-propanal
(l) ethanoic acid
(m) 1,2, dichloroethane
Ans:
(a) Structural formula of Ethanoic acid is shown below:

(b) Structural formula of But-2-yne is shown below:

(c) Methanoic acid:

(d) Ethanal:

(e) Ethyne:
H-C≡C-H
(f) Acetone:

(g) 2-methyl propane:

(h) An isomer of n-butane:

(i) 2-propanol:

(j) ethanol:

(k) 1-propanal:

(l) ethanoic acid:

(m) 1,2, dichloroethane:

Que-4: Give balanced chemical equations for the following conversions:
(a) Ethanoic acid to ethyl ethanoate
(b) Calcium carbide to ethylene
(c) Sodium ethanoate to methane
(d) Ethyl chloride to ethyl alcohol
(e) Ethyl chloride to ethene
(f) Ethene to ethyl alcohol
(g) Ethyl alcohol to ethene
Ans:
(a) Ethanoic acid to ethyl ethanoate
CH3COOH + C2H5OH → (Conc. H2SO4) CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
(b) Calcium carbide to ethylene
CaC2 + 2 H2O → Ca(OH)2 + CH º CH
(c) Sodium ethanoate to methane
CH3COONa + NaOH → (CaO 300ºC) Na2CO3 + CH4
(d) By boiling ethyl chloride with aqueous NaOH.
C2H5-Cl + NaOH [aq.] → boil C2H5OH + NaCl
(e) By boiling ethyl chloride with alcoholic KOH.
C2H5-Cl + KOH [aq.] →boil C2H4 +KCl + H2O
(f) Ethene is absorbed in conc. sulphuric acid at 80 °C under 30 atmos. to give ethyl hydrogen sulphate, which on hydrolysis with steam gives ethanol.
C2H4 +H2SO4 conc. → (80°C/30 atmos.) C2H5-HSO4 (Ethyl hydrogen sulphate )
C2H5-HSO4 + H2O steam ⟶ C2H5-OH + H2SO4
(g) By heating ethyl alcohol with concentrated H2SO4 at 170°C.
C2H5OH → (170°C/Conc. H2SO4 ) C2H4 +H2O
