(c) The three allotropic forms of carbon are:
(i) Diamond
(ii) Graphite
(iii) Buckminsterfullerene
Answer 23:
(a) The general name for all the compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon is hydrocarbon.
(b) Carbon has the property of tetravalency, so it mainly forms covalent bonds. Since carbon is an element with atomic number 6, its electronic configuration is (2,4). This means there are 4 valence electrons in its outermost shell, and it can either gain 4 electrons or lose 4 electrons to attain the inert gas configuration for becoming stable. As the atoms of carbon are of extremely small size, the nucleus exerts a great force of attraction on the outermost electrons to hold them tightly. This makes it difficult to remove or add electrons to its structure. Therefore, it attains the inert gas configuration by the sharing of electrons in the outermost shell. As the inert gas configuration is attained by the sharing of electrons, carbon forms compounds always by covalent bonding.
Answer 24:
(a) Catenation is the unique property exhibited by the carbon atoms. It is the ability of one carbon atom to combine with its other atoms to form long chains, and give rise to a large number of carbon compounds.

(b) C6H6 is the molecular formula of benzene.
(c) Iso-butane has a branched chain, while normal butane has a single chain of carbon atoms.
Answer 29:
Catenation is the ability of an element to form bonds with other atoms of the same element. It is exhibited by both carbon and silicon. The ability of catenation in carbon is greater than in silicon, as carbon atoms are smaller than silicon atoms. Hence, the nucleus of carbon exerts a greater force of attraction on the shared pair of electrons, and holds them firmly to form strong covalent bonds. This is also the reason behind the ability of carbon to hold n number of atoms (form lengthy compounds). On the other hand, silicon can only hold seven or eight atoms to form weaker covalent bonds.
Answer 30:
(a) Artificial diamonds are made by subjecting pure carbon to extreme temperature and pressure. The diamonds prepared artificially are called synthetic diamonds. Synthetic diamonds differ from natural diamonds in terms of their hardness and brightness. Synthetic diamonds are more bright and less harder than natural diamonds.
(b)
| Sl.No | Diamond | Graphite |
| 1. | Diamond has a rigid structure that makes it a hard material. | Graphite has a layered structure that makes it a soft material. |
| 2. | Diamond does not conduct electricity. | Graphite is a good conductor of electricity. |
The differences in their properties is due to the different arrangement of carbon atoms in both the allotropes. In diamond, one carbon atom is linked to four other carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds to form regular tetrahedron. While in graphite, one carbon atom is joined to three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds to form a flat hexagonal ring. In graphite, the various layer of carbon atoms are held together by a weak van der Waals force.
Graphite is a good conductor, as in its crystal, only three valence electrons of a carbon atom are used in the bond formation, while the fourth valence electron is free. The free movement of these electrons in the graphite crystal allows the conductivity of electric current.
Answer 31:
(a) The element, carbon, forms a large number of carbon compounds because of its property of self combination (catenation). The ability of one carbon atom to combine with the many other carbon atoms to form long chains produces a large number of carbon compounds. This long chain of carbon atoms supports the other atoms to get attached to it in a number of ways due to which a large number of carbon compounds are obtained.

Structural formula is:
(b) Common name of
(i) Ethyne is acetylene
(ii) Ethene is ethylene
(c) The molecular formula of benzene is C6H6.
Its structural formula is :
Answer 33:
(a) Self combination (catenation) is the most unique property of a carbon atom. This property is extremely as it gives rise to a large number of carbon compounds or organic compounds. Other atoms get attached to the long chain of carbon atoms in a number of ways to produce a large number of carbon compounds.
Note: Tetravalency is the other property which supports this unique characteristic of carbon to produce a large number of carbon or organic compounds.
(b) Even if diamond and graphite are made up of carbon, the former is extremely hard while the latter is soft. Diamond is hard because of the strong covalent bond between its carbon atoms forming a regular tetrahedron which is hard to break. Graphite, on the other hand, consists of flat hexagonal ring forming layers of carbon atoms. The various layers of the carbon atoms are far apart from each other; hence, the covalent bond cannot exist. The layers are held together by weak van der Waals forces, thereby allowing them to slide over each other. Due to this layered structure, graphite is softer than diamond.
Answer 34:
(a) (i) Structure of ethyne (C2H2) is as follows:
Ethyne has one triple bond between its carbon atoms, and two single bonds between its carbon and hydrogen atoms.
(ii) Structure of ethene (C2H4) is as follows:
Ethene has a double bond between its carbon atoms, and four single bonds between its carbon and hydrogen atoms.
(iii) Structure of benzene (C6H6 ) is as follows:
A benzene molecule has three carbon-carbon double bonds, three carbon-carbon single bonds and six carbon-hydrogen single bonds.
(b) Molecular formula of cyclohexane is C6H12.
Its structure is as follows:
A cyclohexane molecule has six carbon-carbon single bonds and twelve carbon-hydrogen single bonds. Therefore, there are 18 covalent bonds in one molecule of cyclohexane.
Answer 35:
| Sl.No | Structure of Diamond | Structure of Graphite |
| 1. | Each carbon atom is joined to four other carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds to form a regular tetrahedron. | Each carbon atom is joined to three other carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds to form flat hexagonal rings. |
| 2. | Compact and rigid structure (hard) | Layered structure (soft) |
(b) Because of its softness and non-volatile nature, graphite is used as a lubricant in the fast moving parts of a machinery. It is used for lubricating the parts of machinery which operate at high temperatures. Diamond, on the other hand, is an extremely hard substance; therefore, it cannot be used as a lubricant.
(c) As diamond is extremely hard, it can be used to cut and grind other hard materials or metals. Hence, it is used in rock-drilling equipment to drill holes in the rocky layers of the Earth. Graphite being soft cannot be used to cut or grind.
(d)1. Diamonds are used in making jewellery because of their extraordinary shine and texture.
2.Graphite is used in making pencil leads (black core of pencils) because of its black colour and softness.
Answer 36:
(a) Diamond, which is a colourless and transparent substance, is an allotrope of carbon. It is the hardest natural substance known. Diamonds are purely made of carbon and the symbol is C. When we burn diamond in oxygen, only carbon dioxide is evolved showing that diamond is made up of carbon.
(b) A crystal of diamond is a molecule of carbon atoms in which each carbon atom is connected to four other carbon atoms by strong covalent bonds forming a regular tetrahedron. As the carbon atoms are held together firmly by covalent bonds, diamond forms a very rigid structure.
The arrangement of carbon atoms in a diamond crystal is shown below:
(c) Diamonds has a very high melting point, as a huge amount of heat energy is required to break the strong covalent bonds in one crystal of a diamond. The melting point of diamonds is above 3500oC.
(d) Uses of diamonds:
(i) As diamonds have an extraordinary shine, they are used in making jewellery.
(ii) Diamonds, due to their hardness, are used in instruments like glass cutters, grinders. They are also used as abrasives for polishing.
Answer 37:
(a) Graphite is an allotrope of carbon, and is a soft, greyish black and opaque substance. The graphite is made up of carbon atoms. On burning graphite in the presence of oxygen, only carbon dioxide gas is evolved proving that graphite is only made of carbon.
(b) The structure of graphite consists of layers or sheets of carbon atoms which form flat hexagonal rings. In a graphite layer or sheet, each carbon atom is connected to three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. Each layer of carbon atoms is at a distance with no covalent bonds existing between them. As the various layers of carbon atoms in a graphite crystal are held by weak Van der Waals forces, the layers can slide over each other smoothly.
The following diagram represents the structure of a graphite crystal:
(c) Graphite is a good conductor of electricity because of the presence of free electrons in its crystal. As we know that an atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons, in a graphite crystal, each carbon atom is connected to only three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. This means that the fourth valence electron of each carbon atom is free. These free moving electrons are responsible for the conduction of electricity in a graphite crystal. But in the case of diamond these free electrons are not available due to its structure. Hence, diamond is a non-conductor.
(d) Uses of graphite:
(i) As graphite is a good conductor of electricity, it is used in making carbon electrodes in dry cells.
(ii) Graphite is used in making pencil leads and black paints.
Answer 38:
(a) Isomers: Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangements of carbon atoms in them. The existence of two or more organic compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangement of carbon atoms is called isomerism. Isomerism can only exist in hydrocarbons comprising 4 or more carbon atoms.
An example of an isomer is the compound Butane (C4H10). As the number of carbon atoms are four, two isomers of butane are possible, and they are n-butane (normal butane with a straight chain arrangement) and iso-butane (three carbon atoms put in a straight chain, and the fourth carbon atom is joined in the side chain to form a different structure).
The structural formula for the isomers of butane are as follows:
(b) (i) Heptane (C7H16) has 7 carbon atoms in its molecule. An isomer other than n-heptane will be 2-methylhexane.The structural formula is shown below :
(ii) The electronic dot structure is as follows:
(c) The IUPAC name of n-C4H10 is butane.
This is because the compound is a saturated hydrocarbon and has 4 carbon atoms in its molecule. If it has four carbon atoms in a single chain, it is represented by the word “but”, and as it comprises all single bonds, it is represented by the ending “ane”. Again, as the carbon atoms are in a single continuous chain, it is represented by n-Butane (where, n is normal).
(d) (i) 2-methylpropane
(ii) 2-methylbutane
(iii) Propene
(iv) Propyne

(b) Coal and petroleum are called fossil fuels because they are produced through the decomposition of the pre-historic organisms (plants and animals) buried deep in the soil since millions of years ago.
(c) Coal evolved in the Earth millions of years ago by the decomposition of trees and plants that got buried deep into the soil. Natural phenomena like volcanoes and earthquakes caused the forests to get buried deep under the surface of the Earth. The extreme temperature and pressure inside the soil converted the wood into coal in the absence of air.
(d) Petroleum evolved, millions of years ago, through the decomposition of the microscopic remains of the plants and animals buried deep under the sea. When the marine plants and animals died, millions of years back, their bodies sank to the bottom of the sea, thereby getting buried into the sand and mud. The high pressure, heat and bacteria caused the chemical reactions in the absence of air and converted the microscopic remains into petroleum. This is the reason why petroleum is found trapped between two layers of non-porous rocks.
(e) Other than coal and petroleum, natural gas is a fossil fuel.

The chemical equation of the above reaction is:
C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O + Heat + Light
(b) Ethanol, a highly inflammable liquid, readily burns in the air with a clear flame to give heat and light. Therefore, ethanol is used as a fuel.
(c) Uses of ethanol:
1. Ethanol is used in the manufacture of several products like dyes, perfumes and synthetic rubber.
2. Ethanol is used as a solvent in many organic compounds. Since it is a good solvent, it is also used in medicines like cough syrups and tincture iodine.
Answer 25:
(a) When propanoic acid is warmed with methanol in the presence of a few drops of concentrated sulphuric acid in it, esterification takes place and an ester named methyl propanoate is formed along with water.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is:
C2H5COOH + CH3OH → C2H5COOCH3 + H2O.
(b) Soap is the salt of a strong base (sodium hydroxide) and a weak acid (carboxylic acid); therefore, it’s solution with water will be also basic in nature. Hence, it will turn a red litmus paper blue.
(c) Denatured alcohol is ethyl alcohol in which small amounts of poisonous substances like methanol and copper sulphate are added to make it unfit for consumption.
Ethyl alcohol is used for manufacturing various products in different industries. Therefore, government supplies ethyl alcohol to the industries without charging production tax. In order to prevent the misuse of ethyl alcohol for drinking purposes, it is denatured by adding poisonous substances such as methanol, pyridine or copper. This makes the alcohol unfit for consumption.
Answer 26:
(a) Alcohols are slightly acidic in nature and can be detected by their reaction with sodium. When sodium is added to alcohol, sodium alkoxide is formed along with the release of hydrogen gas that burns with a pop sound. This confirms that the compound is an alcohol. Alcohols do not change the colour of the litmus paper.
(b) Following are the harmful effects of drinking alcohol:
(i) Alcohol has a severe impact on our nervous system and brain. The reflex to judging any situation slows down and a person fails to react quickly. Therefore, chances of accidents increases when a person is driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
(ii) The consumption of alcohol brings about a drastic decline in the mental restrain, and this makes a drunken man quarrelsome. Due to this, violence and crimes have increased in the society.
(iii) Excess consumption of alcohol over the time can damage stomach, liver, heart and brain. Cirrhosis, which is a liver disease, can even cause death.
(c) Methanol is a poison when taken internally. Though both methanol and ethanol are metabolised by the liver, the rate of metabolism differs. Methanol gets oxidised to methanal in the liver, which rapidly reacts with the cell components and causes coagulation of protoplasm. As a result, the cells stop functioning causing death of the person who consumes methanol.
Answer 27:
(a) Ethanol can be converted into ethene by the dehydration reaction.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows:
CH3-CH2OH → CH2=CH2 + H2O
When ethanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170oC, ethanol gets dehydrated to form ethene, an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Concentrated sulphuric acid acts as the dehydrating agent in this reaction.
(b) Propanol is converted into propanoic acid by the oxidation reaction.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows:
CH3-CH2-CH2-OH → CH3CH2COOH
Propanol is oxidised to propanoic acid in the presence of alkaline potassium permanganate solution (alkaline KMnO4). Alkaline potassium permanganate solution acts as an oxidising agent as it adds oxygen to convert propanol to propanoic acid.
Answer 28:
(a) The gas stove used in our homes comprises burners with tiny holes in them so as to let in sufficient oxygen required for the fuel to burn. When there is sufficient oxygen, the fuel will burn completely with a blue flame. If the fuel fails to burn completely, a sooty flame will be produced (due to the incomplete combustion) which will blacken the bottom of the vessel. Therefore, the air holes in the gas burner need to be adjusted so that the burner gets enough oxygen to burn the fuel completely.
(b) Synthetic detergents are not biodegradable, as they can not be decomposed by microorganisms such as bacteria. Since, they don’t decompose, they pollute water bodies like rivers and lakes.
Answer 29:
(a) When 5% alkaline potassium permanganate solution is added drop by drop to warm ethanol in a test tube, an oxidation reaction would be observed by us. Ethanol is oxidised to ethanoic acid in the presence of the strong oxidising agent alkaline potassium permanganate.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows:
CH3CH2OH + 2[O] → CH3COOH + H2O
(b) Experimentally, we can distinguish between an alcohol and carboxylic acid by conducting a litmus test. Take two test tubes and pour about 2 ml of carboxylic acid in one, and 2 ml of alcohol in the other. Add one drop of blue litmus solution in each of the test tubes.
The solution which shows no effect is alcohol, and the solution that turns the blue litmus red is carboxylic acid.
Answer 30:
The functional group of organic compounds that can be hydrogenated are double bonds in alkenes and triple bonds in alkynes.
Hydrogenation is the process of addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated hydrocarbon, in the presence of a catalyst, in order toconvert it into a saturated hydrocarbon.
For example, alkene (double bond) can be converted to an alkane (single bond) by adding hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst.
Vegetable oil (unsaturated compound) is heated with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst nickel to form saturated fat (vegetable ghee).
The chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows:

Answer 33:
(a) When ethanol reacts with ethanoic acid in the presence of a few drops of concentrated sulphuric aciddiv, a sweet smelling ester named ethyl ethanoate is formed.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is:
CH3COOH+2H5OH→Conc. H2SO4CH3COOC2H5+ H2O
(b) When ethanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170oC, it gets dehydrated to form ethene (unsaturated hydrocarbon). This reaction is termed as dehydration reaction as it involves the removal of water molecules from the alcohol (ethanol). In this reaction, the concentrated sulphuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is:
CH3CH2OH → CH2 =CH2 + H2O
Answer 34:
(a) When ethanol is oxidised with alkaline potassium permanganate (alkaline KMnO4) or acidified potassium dichromate (acidified K2Cr2O7), ethanoic acid is formed. Alkaline potassium permanganate and acidified potassium dichromate are strong oxidising agents, as they provide oxygen for oxidising other substances in the reaction. This reaction is known as the oxidation reaction.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows:
CH3CH2OH + 2[O] → CH3COOH + H2O
(b) CH3COOH (ethanoic acid) and HCOOH (formic acid) are the compounds which can turn blue litmus solution red. This happens because ethanoic acid and formic acid are the organic compounds which are acidic in nature.
Answer 35:
(a) Following is the process of preparing soap in the laboratory:
Raw materials required are:
(i) Vegetable oil like castor oil
(ii) Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), and
(iii) Sodium chloride (common salt)
Steps involved in the preparation of soap are:
1. Take a beaker with about 20 ml of castor oil in it.
2. Also, add 30 ml of 20% sodium hydroxide to the beaker.
3. Heat the mixture and stir it constantly until a soap is formed.
4. Add 5-10 grams of common salt to it and stir the mixture. On cooling the solution, we will see the solid soap getting separated.
5. The solid soap, once separated, is made to set, and then it is cut into pieces called soap bars.
(b) Common salt (sodium hydroxide) is added during the preparation of soap to separate the soap from the aqueous solution. On adding common salt, solubility of the soap, present in the solution, decreases. This allows the soap to be taken out from the solution in its solid form.
(c) (i) Hard water contains calcium and magnesium salts; and, when a soap is used for washing clothes with hard water, a good amount of it gets utilised in reacting with the calcium and magnesium ions to form an insoluble scum. So, a large amount of soap gets wasted in this process.
(ii) The curdy precipitate called scum, produced by the reaction of hard water on soap, sticks to the clothes making them difficult to be cleaned. Therefore, soaps are not suitable for washing clothes in hard water.
Answer 36:
a) When methane (natural gas) burns in air, carbon dioxide and water vapour are formed along with the release of a large amount of heat. This process is known as combustion.
The chemical equation of the combustion reaction is as follows:

Add bromine water to both the test tubes.
Observation:
(i) Cooking oil decolourises bromine water indicating that it is an unsaturated compound.
(ii) Butter does not decolourise bromine water indicating that it is a saturated compound.
Answer 37:
(a) Substitution reaction is a characteristic of saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes). It is the reaction in which one or more hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon are replaced by other atoms.
Methane reacts with chlorine in the presence of sunlight to form chloromethane and hydrogen chloride. In this reaction, the hydrogen atom from methane is replaced by the chlorine atom.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows:
CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl
(b) An oxidising agent is a reactant which readily transfers oxygen atoms to another substance by reducing itself in the process. Two oxidising agents which can oxidise ethanol to ethanoic acid are alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and acidified potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7).
(c) Ethanoic acid is a carboxylic acid which when reacts with ethanol (alcohol) produces sweet smelling ester. The process in which the carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol, in the presence of a catalyst, to form an ester is called esterification.The chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows:
CH3COOH+2H5OH →Conc. H2SO4 CH3COOC2H5+H2O
Answer 38:
(a) Methane is a hydrocarbon which has a single bond. Its formula is CH4.

(b) Detergent, a sodium salt of a long chain benzene sulphonic acid, is a cleansing agent. It has cleansing properties in water. A detergent has two parts, a large non-ionic hydrocarbon group and an ionic group such as sulphonate group SO3–Na+. Name of a detergent is sodium n-dodecyl benzene sulphonate.
(c) Detergents have replaced soap as a washing agent because they do not form insoluble calcium and magnesium salts (scum) in hard water. Solubility of detergents, even in hard water, is better than a soap. Detergents also froth well.
Answer 39:
(a) Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium hydrogen carbonate to produce a brisk effervescence of carbon dioxide gas. The salt formed in this reaction is sodium ethanoate.
The chemical equation of the above reaction is:
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa + CO2+ H2O
(b) Carbon and its compounds are used as fuels for numerous applications, as they release a lot of heat energy when burned in air.
(c) Detergent is better for washing clothes in hard water because it does not form insoluble magnesium or calcium salts (scum) on combining with the calcium or magnesium ions present in the hard water. Soap on the other hand reacts with these calcium and magnesium ions present in the hard water to form insoluble calcium and magnesium salts of fatty acids. Therefore, soaps don’t lather easily in hard water, while detergents do.
Answer 40:
(a) Substitution reaction is a reaction in which hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbon are replaced by other atoms. It is a characteristic of saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes).
For example:
Methane (alkane) reacts with chlorine, in the presence of sunlight, to form chloromethane and hydrochloric acid.
The chemical equation of this reaction is as follows:
CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl

Answer 41:
(a) When ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is heated in the presence of alkaline potassium permanganate solution or acidified potassium dichromate solution, it gets oxidised to ethanoic acid. This reaction is known as oxidation reaction.
The chemical equation for the above reaction is:
CH3CH2OH+2[O]→or acidified K2Cr2O7alkaline
KMnO4,Heat CH3COOH+H2O
(b) Ethanoic acid releases carbon dioxide gas on reacting with sodium bicarbonate. It is represented by the following equation:
CH3COOH+NaHCO3→CH3COONa+CO2+H2O
On the other hand, ethanol does not give out a brisk effervescence (carbon dioxide) with sodium bicarbonate.
(c) Scum is formed when a soap is used in hard water. This happens because a large amount of soap is utilised in reacting with the magnesium and calcium ions of hard water. An insoluble curdy precipitate, scum, sticks to the clothes making them difficult to be cleaned.
Answer 42:
(a) When methane reacts with chlorine, substitution reaction takes place. Methane reacts with chlorine in the presence of sunlight to form chloromethane and hydrogen chloride. In this reaction, chlorine substitutes hydrogen; therefore, this reaction is also known as chlorination.
The chemical equation for this reaction is: CH4 + Cl2 →CH3Cl + HCl
(b) Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated hydrocarbon for obtaining a saturated hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst.

(ii) The cleansing action of detergents is stronger than soaps.
(iii) Detergents have a greater solubility in water as compared to soaps.
Disadvantage of detergents:
(i) Some detergents are not bio-degradable; therefore, they pollute water bodies like lakes and rivers. Soaps, on the other hand, are bio-degradable and don’t cause water pollution.
Answer 44:
(a) The organic compound ‘X’ with molecular formula C2H4O2 is ethanoic acid. Formula of X (ethanoic acid) is CH3COOH.
(b) Ethyne (acetylene) is an unsaturated hydrocarbon. When ethyne is burned in air, it produces an extremely sooty flame due to incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame is not high enough to melt metals for welding; therefore, a mixture of ethyne and air is used for welding.
(c) 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.
Answer 45:
(a) When an unsaturated hydrocarbon combines with another substance to form a single product, the reaction is termed as an addition reaction. Addition reactions are undergone by all alkenes and alkynes containing either a double bond or a triple bond.
Example: When ethene (C2H4) reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a nickel catalyst, ethane is formed. Addition of hydrogen converts the unsaturated hydrocarbon having a double bond to a saturated hydrocarbon comprising a single bond.
Let us look at the chemical equation of the addition reaction:
CH2=CH2 + H2 → CH3-CH3
(b) Hydrogen is added to groundnut oil when the latter is to be converted to vanaspati ghee. The process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated hydrocarbon, to produce a saturated hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst, is called hydrogenation.
(c) Vegetable oil is good for our health as it contains unsaturated fatty acids (liquid form). Butter is not good for our health as it comprises saturated fatty acids (solid fat).

Answer 48:
(a) Catalytic hydrogenation is the reaction usually used to convert vegetable oils to fats. Hydrogenation is a process in which hydrogen molecules are added to an unsaturated hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a saturated hydrocarbon. In this process, the double bonds are removed from the unsaturated compounds (oils).
For example: When hydrogen is added to vegetable oils (unsaturated), a saturated product called ghee (semi-solid) is obtained.
The chemical equation of this hydrogenation reaction in the presence of catalyst nickel is shown below:
R2C=CR2 + H2 →R2HC-CHR2
(b) Saponification is a process of preparing soap by the hydrolysis of fats or oils with alkalis.
When animal fat or vegetable oil (ester) is heated with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, soap and glycerol (alcohol) are formed.
Equation: Fat or oil (Ester) + Sodium Hydroxide → Soap + Glycerol (an alcohol)
The chemical equation is as follows:
(c) Micelles are formed when soap is added to water. This is because the hydrocarbon chains of a soap molecule are hydrophobic and insoluble in water, but the ionic ends are hydrophilic and soluble in water. Micelles are an aggregate of soap molecules that arrange themselves in a spherical shape in the soap solution.
Micelles will not form in a solvent like ethanol, as the hydrocarbon chain of soap molecules is hydrophobic; hence, not be soluble in organic solvent like ethanol.
Answer 49:
(a) Soap is a mixture of sodium or potassium salts of various natural fatty acids and oils, which when used with water show cleansing properties. A soap contains a large, non-ionic hydrocarbon group and an ionic group COO-Na+.
An example for a soap is sodium stearate (C17H35COO-Na+). It is a salt of sodium of fatty acid called stearic acid with a non-ionic hydrocarbon group C17H35, and an ionic carboxylate group COO- Na+.
(b) A molecule of soap has a tadpole like structure and is made up of two parts, a long hydrocarbon part and a short ionic part. The hydrocarbon part of the soap molecule is soluble in grease and oil but remains insoluble in water (hydrophobic), whereas the short ionic group is soluble in water (hydrophilic) because of the polar nature of the water molecules.
The structure of a soap molecule is as follows:
(c) Cleansing action of soap: Soap forms a colloidal suspension when dissolved in water. The soap molecules group together to form spherical micelles. When a soiled cloth is immersed in soap water, the hydrocarbon ends of the soap molecules in the micelles entrap the oil and grease on cloth’s surface. The ionic ends of the soap molecules in the micelles (having negative charges) are attached to the water. As the soiled cloth gets agitated in the soap solution, the oil and grease entrapped by the soap micelles get dispersed into the water and the soap water becomes dirty while the cloth gets rid of the dirt and becomes clean. Cleansing of the cloth is then done by thoroughly rinsing it in clean water.
The following diagram illustrates the cleansing action of soap:

Answer 72:
(a) The organic compound, A, is propanol (CH3-CH2-CH2OH) which is a liquid (alcohol) at room temperature. Propanol reacts with sodium to evolve hydrogen with a pop sound.
(b) When propanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170oC, a compound ‘B’ called propene is formed. Propene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon; therefore, it decolourizes bromine water.
(c) Propanol is converted to propene through dehydration. Dehydration is a chemical reaction which involves the loss of water molecule from the reacting molecules. When an alcohol (propanol) is converted to alkene (propene), loss of water molecule or dehydration reaction takes place.
The chemical equation for conversion of propanol to propene is as follows:
CH3-CH2-CH2-OH → CH3-CH=CH2 + H2O
(d) The compound, C, is propane (CH3-CH2 -CH3). When alkenes (unsaturated hydrocarbons) add one molecule of hydrogen, in the presence of nickel as a catalyst, alkanes are formed (saturated hydrocarbons). Therefore, propene (alkene) adds one hydrogen to form propane.
(e) As the conversion of propane to propene involves addition of hydrogen, the reaction is known as hydrogenation or addition reaction.
The conversion of propene to propane by the addition of hydrogen is as follows:
CH3-CH=CH2 + H2 → CH3-CH2-CH3.

The organic compound, A, with the molecular formula C2H4O2 is ethanoic acid (CH3COOH), as it evolves hydrogen with a pop sound on reacting with sodium.
When ethanoic acid reacts with sodium, a compound B called the sodium ethanoate (CH3COONa) is formed.
The alcohol, C, is methanol (CH3OH) which is treated with ethanoic acid in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid to form a compound D.
The sweet-smelling compound D is methyl ethanoate (CH3COOCH3).
The chemical equation for the above stated reaction is as follows:
CH3OH + CH3COOH → CH3COOCH3 + H2O
When ethanoic acid reacts with alcohol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid, a sweet-smelling cmpound, ester is formed. Methyl ethanoate is a carboxylate ester, which on reaction with sodium hydroxide gives back methanol and Sodium ethanoate.
The chemical equation is as follows:
CH3COOCH3 + NaOH → CH3COONa + CH3OH
Answer 74:
C6H12 (Hexene) and C6H10 (Hexyne or Cyclohexene ) are the hydrocarbons which can decolourize bromine water, as they are unsaturated. Bromine undergo addition reactions with unsaturated compounds like alkenes and alkynes containing a double or a triple bond. When bromine water is added to an unsaturated compound, the former gets added to the latter, thereby turning colourless from its reddish brown colour.
C6H14 (Hexane) is a hydrocarbon which cannot decolourize bromine water because it is a saturated compound (alkane). Saturated compounds don’t undergo addition reactions; therefore, they don’t decolourize bromine water.
