Question 1. What is vital force theory? Why was it discarded?

Answer :Vital Force Theory is a theory made by the Scientist Berzelius in 1809 which assumed that organic compounds are only formed in living cells and it is impossible to prepare them in laboratories.

Question 2. Name the scientist who disproved the vital force theory.
Answer :  vital force theory was discarded because Friedrich Wohler showed that it was possible to obtain an organic compound (urea) in the laboratory

Question 3. What do you understand by the following terms?

(i) Organic chemistry

(ii) Organic compounds

(iii) Catenation

Answer :

(i) Organic chemistryOrganic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds, which include not only hydrocarbons but also compounds with any number of other elements, including hydrogen (most compounds contain at least one carbon–hydrogen bond), nitrogen, oxygen

(ii) Organic compounds– Organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. The few carbon-containing compounds not classified as organic include carbides, carbonates, and cyanides

(iii) Catenation- Catenation is the binding of an element to itself through covalent bonds to form chain or ring molecules. Examples: Carbon is the most common element that exhibits catenation. It can form long hydrocarbon chains and rings like

Question 4. What are the unique properties of carbon?

Answer :

Unique properties of carbon

1) Catenation: It is the ability to form bonds with other carbon atoms. 2) Tetravalency: Due to 4 valency of carbon, it is capable of bonding with four other atoms.

3) A carbon atom can bond with another carbon atom two or three times to make double and triple covalent bonds between two carbon atoms

Question 5.  Why are there very large number of organic compounds?

Answer :Carbon forms large number of compound due to following reasons: 1. Catenation: The unique property of the ‘C’ element to be able to form continuous links with other ‘C’ atoms through covalency called catenation, is one reason for the existence of a large number of organic compounds

Question 6. Distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds on the basis of solubility.
Answer : Generally, organic compounds are less soluble in water than inorganic compoundsOrganic compounds are more inflammable (more volatile) but are poorer conductors of heat and electricity than inorganic compounds

Question 8. Name three major classes of aliphatic hydrocarbon.

Answer :Aliphatic hydrocarbons are divided into three main groups according to the types of bonds they contain:

1. alkanes,

2.alkenes,

3. alkynes

Question 9.  How do paraffins differ from unsaturated hydrocarbons?

Answer :Alkanes – Are saturated hydrocarbons that therefore contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded to each other, and typically follow the chemical formula CnH2n+2.

Question 1. How is methane gas prepared in the laboratory?

Answer : In the laboratory, methane is formed by heating sodium ethanoate with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and calcium oxide, called soda lime,  on heating in the presence of a catalyst, calcium oxide, the -COONa group from sodium ethanoate is replaced by the hydrogen atom from sodium hydroxide, forming methane and sodium hydroxide gets converted into sodium carbonate
Question 2. What do you understand by the term substitution reaction?

Answer : Substitution reaction, any of a class of chemical reactions in which an atom, ion, or group of atoms or ions in a molecule is replaced by another atom, ion, or group.
Question 3.  How does excess chlorine react with :

(i) methane

(ii) ethane?

Answer : excess chlorine react with :

(i) methane—When a mixture of methane and chlorine is exposed to ultraviolet light – typically sunlight – a substitution reaction occurs and the organic product is chloromethane. However, the reaction doesn’t stop there, and all the hydrogens in the methane can in turn be replaced by chlorine atoms

(ii) ethane–Ethane reacts with chlorine by free radical halogenation in the presence of sunlight when chlorine breaks down to form two chlorine radicals. The chlorine radical reacts with ethane to give ethane radical which reacts with other chlorine to generate to give halogenated product C2Cl6

Question 4. How is ethane gas prepared in the laboratory?

Answer : Ethane gas can be prepared in a laboratory by the cracking of hydrocarbons such as kerosene or candle wax. … The vapor of kerosene when passes over heated porcelain pieces undergoes cracking. The gas so formed is collected in gas jars by the downward displacement of water. This gas is mostly ethane (ethylene)
Question 5.  What do you understand by pyrolysis?

Answer : Pyrolysis is a thermochemical treatment, which can be applied to any organic (carbon-based) product. It can be done on pure products as well as mixtures. In this treatment, material is exposed to high temperature, and in the absence of oxygen goes through chemical and physical separation into different molecules
Question 6. How will you obtain ethane from ethyl iodide? Give chemical equation.

Answer :

Question 7. How do alkanes burn in:

(i) Excess air

(ii) Insufficient supply of air

Answer : alkanes burn in:

(i) Excess air—However, these alkanes burn very rapidly. The combination of alkanes with oxygen generating heat is known as combustion. More precisely, combustion is defined as “a chemical reaction with oxygen in which alkane is converted into carbon dioxide and water with the release of heat energy”

(ii) Insufficient supply of air–It occurs when there is not enough amount of oxygen for fuel to react completely. This leads to the formation of carbon or carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide formed as a by product is a colourless poisonous gas.

Methane + (little) Oxygen → Carbon + Water

CH₄ + O₂ → C + 2H₂O

Question 8. Write names and structural formulae of isomers of fourth and fifth homologous members of alkanes.

(ii) Methane to methanoic acid–The progressive oxidation of methane by 2 electron losses to form methanol, formaldehyde and ultimately formic acid using simple vanadium compound with the use of H2O2.

Methane to methanoic acid

(iii) Ethane to acetaldehyde

The catalytic conversion of ethane to acetaldehyde has been achieved using nitrous oxide as the oxidant.  The resulting ethyl radical reacts with surface MoO to produce a surface ethoxide, which may either decompose to ethylene or react further with surface OH to form acetaldehyde or with water to form C2H5OH.

Ethane to acetaldehyde
Question 10.  Give two uses of

(i) Methane

(ii) Ethane

Answer : two uses of

(i)Methane— It is used primarily as fuel to make heat and light. It is also used to manufacture organic chemicals.

(ii)Ethane–The chief use of ethane is the production of ethene (ethylene) by steam cracking. … Ethane can be used as a refrigerant in cryogenic refrigeration systems. On a much smaller scale, in scientific research, liquid ethane is used to vitrify water-rich samples for electron microscopy

(ii) Butene-The chemical formula for butene is: C4 H8, which means it’s made up of four carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms. The ‘-ene’ part of the name refers to an alkene, so we know that butene’s structure must include a carbon double bond

  • but-1-ene
  • but-2-ene)
  • 2-methylprop-1-ene

Question 5. Write the chemical equation for the preparation of ethylene gas by dehydrohalogenation with alcoholic potash.

Answer : preparation of ethylene gas by dehydrohalogenation with alcoholic potash.: Alcohols reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid which results in the formation of alkenes due to the elimination of a water molecule. As water molecule is removed in this reaction, it is called as acidic dehydration of alcohol and the dehydrating agent is concentrated sulphuric acid.

Question 6. Why does ethene give addition reactions?

Answer :Ethene and bromine are an addition reaction because ethene is an alkene – it has a double bond. It is easier for new atoms to open the double bond and react there than to remove the hydrogen already attached, and then bond to it, which would be a substitution reaction

Question 7. What do you understand by hydrogenation? Give the necessary conditions and chemical equation for the hydrogenation of ethene.

Question 8. What do you mean by polymerization? How can polyethene be prepared by ethene?

Answer :

Polymerization, any process in which relatively small molecules, called monomers, combine chemically to produce a very large chainlike or network molecule, called a polymer. The monomer molecules may be all alike, or they may represent two, three, or more different compounds.

Poly(ethene) (polythene or polyethylene)

Question 9. How will you bring about the following conversion?
(i) Ethene into ethyl alcohol (ii) Ethene into acetaldehyde

Answer : conversion

(i) Ethene into ethyl alcohol–Ethanol is manufactured by reacting ethene with steam. The reaction is reversible, and the formation of the ethanol is exothermic. Only 5% of the ethene is converted into ethanol at each pass through the reactor

(ii) Ethene into acetaldehyde–The catalytic conversion of ethane to acetaldehyde has been achieved using nitrous oxide as the oxidant. Water vapor is essential for high selectivity to acetaldehyde.

Question 10.  Give molecular formula and names of first four homologous members of alkenes.

Question 1. How is acetylene gas prepared in the laboratory?

Answer :Acetylene is prepared in the laboratory from calcium carbide. Calcium carbide is decomposed to acetylene with water as per the following reaction. Acetylene is collected in a glass jar by the downward displacement of wate

Question 2. How does acetylene gas react with chlorine?

Answer :The chlorine gas reacts with the acetylene (as well as many other hydrogenated compounds). This reaction is not what one might first expect, since it is not the product of the addition of the halogen across the carbon-carbon triple bond. The product is formed by the abstraction of hydrogen from the hydrocarbon

Question 3.  How will you distinguish between alkanes, alkenes and alkynes?

Answer :

Alkanes have single bonds between carbons in a hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are saturated with hydrogen and are the simplest. They are represented in general as CnH2n+2 in case of non-cyclic structures or straight-chain structures. They are also called paraffins. In alkanes, there are four bonds for each carbon atom; it could be either C-H or C-C bond. Each hydrogen atom has to be bonded with a carbon atom. The simplest alkane is CH4. Alkane compounds are not very reactive; this is because the carbon bonds are stable and do not break easily. They have no functional groups attached to the carbon atoms

.Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons which have at least one double bond. They are represented as CnH2n in general when there is no other functional group. They are also called olefin or olefine . they are more reactive than alkanes but relatively stable as compared to alkynes.

Alkynes are also unsaturated hydrocarbons; they have one or more triple bonds between the carbon atoms. Their general formula is CnH2n-2, in the case of any non-cyclic compound. They are also known as acetylenes. Alkynes are more reactive than alkenes and alkanes; They are highly reactive due to the presence of triple, unsaturated bonds and readily undergo addition reactions

Question 4.  Write names and structural formulas of isomers of third and fourth homologous members of alkynes.

Answer :

names and structural formulas of isomers of third homologous members of alkynes.
CH3-CH2-C≡CH  But-1-yne
CH3-C≡C-CH   But-2-yne

Chain isomerism 

Alkynes having or five or more carbon atoms show isomerism due to different structures of the carbon chain.

CH3-CH2-CH2-C≡CH Pent-1-yne
3-Methylbut-1-yne

Functional isomerism 

Alkynes are functional isomers of dienes i.e. compounds containing two double bonds.

CH3-CH2-C≡CH But-1-yne

CH2=CH-CH=CH2 But-1,3-dienes

CH2=C=CH-CH3 But-1,2-diene

Question 5. How does acetylene gas react with alkaline KMn04?

Answer :Ethyne or acetylene on reaction with cold KMnO4 adds 4 OH− to the triple bond. It is oxidised by a dilute aqueous solution of potassium permanganate to form oxalic acid.

Question 6. Write four uses of acetylene gas.

Answer :The welding process that uses acetylene is known as oxy-fuel cutting or gas cutting. This method is used to cut or weld materials that require temperatures as high as 3,500 °C (6,330 °F). Among all other gasesacetylene is capable of producing the hottest flame

Question 7. What is the characteristic chemical reaction for unsaturated hydrocarbon?

Answer :Addition reaction is a characteristic of unsaturated hydrocarbons like alkenes and alkynes. An unsaturated hydrocarbon combines with another substance to produce a single product (saturated hydrocarbon), in the presence of a catalyst

Question 8. How will you distinguish between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons on the basis of chemical reaction?

Answer : Bromine water test – is used to differentiate between the unsaturated compounds (like alkenes and alkynes) and the saturated compounds. For this purpose, bromine is used in the form of bromine water. A solution of bromine in water is called bromine water. Bromine water has a red-brown color due to the presence of bromine in it. When bromine water is added to an unsaturated compound, then bromine gets added to the unsaturated compound and the red-brown color of bromine water is discharged. So, if an organic compound decolorizes bromine water, then it will be an unsaturated hydrocarbon (containing a double bond or a triple bond), but saturated hydrocarbon (alkanes) do not decolorize bromine water
