Question 1.
Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction?
Answer:
The conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid is oxidation reaction because oxygen is increased in this reaction. Ethanol contains one oxygen atom and acetic acid contains two oxygen atoms and addition of oxygen is oxidation. This oxidation is performed by oxidants, KMnO4 or K2Cr2O7 and hydrogen is removed from ethanol.

Question 2.
A tnixture of oxygen and ethyne is burnt for welding. Can you tell why a mixture of ethyne and air is not used.
Answer:
The percentage of carbon is more in ethyne and the percentage of oxygen in air is only 20%. Remaining are mainly nitrogen with other gases so this amount of oxygen is not sufficient for complete combustion of ethyne. High temperature is required for welding. But complete combustion occurs when the mixture of ethyne and oxygen is burned. Thus, to ensure complete combustion and to obtain a high temperature required for welding, a mixture of ethyne and oxygen is used instead of ethyne and air.

Question 1.
How would you distinguish experimentally between an ‘ alcohol and a carboxylic acid?
Answer:
Alcohol (example C2H5OH) and carboxylic acid (like CH3COOH) can be distinguished in the laboratory by the following tests :
(1) Alcohol has smell like spirit while carboxylic acid have pungent smell.
(2) Alcohol does not effect the blue litmus but carboxylic acid turns blue litmus into red.
(3) Alcohol does not react with NaHCO3 while carboxylic acid reacts with NaHCO3 and gives effervescence due to liberation of CO2 gas.
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 → CH3COONa + H2O + CO2

Question 2.
What are oxidising agents?
Answer:
The substance which are capable of adding oxygen to Others, such substances are known as oxidising agents. Example: Potassium permangnate (KMnO4) and potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) are oxidising alcohols to acids, that is, adding oxygen to the starting material.

Question 1.
Would you be able to check if water is hard by using a detergent?
Answer:
No, it is not possible to check that water is hard by using a detergent because detergent gives foam with hard water also and does not give any scum or precipitate.

Question 2.
People use a 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:
Agitation is required for washing of clothes after adding the soap so that molecules of soap can form micelles to remove spots of oil, dirt particles etc. Micelle helps in the removal of spots of oil and dirt particles so agitation of clothes by different means helps in the removal of dirt particles.

(b) Aldehyde
(c) Ketone
(d) Alcohol.
Answer:
(c) Ketone.

Question 3.
While cooking, if the bottom of the vessel is getting blackened on the outside, it means that:
(a) The food is not cooked completely
(b) The fuel is not burning completely
(c) The fuel is wet
(d) The fuel is burning completely.
Answer:
(b) The fuel is not burning completely.

Question 4.
Explain the nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in CH3Cl.
Answer:
In case of carbon, it has four electrons in its outermost shell and needs to gain or lose four electrons to attain noble gas configuration. But this is not possible due to the high energy requirement for the carbon atom. Therefore, carbon overcomes this problem by sharing its valence electrons with other atoms of carbon or with atoms of other elements.

Hence, covalent bonds are found in CH3Cl. Carbon needs 4 electrons to complete its octet, while hydrogen requires one electron to achieve the noble gas configuration. Similarly, chlorine also requires one electron. That is why, they all share electrons, so that carbon forms three bonds with hydrogen and one bond with chlorine, as follows:
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4 Carbon and Its Compounds 16
The type of bond in CH3Cl is single covalent bond.

Question 5.

Question 6.
What is a homologous series? Explain with example.
Answer:
Homologous series:
A series of compounds in which the same functional group substitutes the hydrogen present in a carbon chain is called homologous series. Chemical properties of all the members of a homologous series are same because functional group is same and chemical properties depends on functional group.
Example:
General formula of Alkane (Saturated Hydrocarbon) Homologous series is CnH2n+. Methane (CH4), Ethane (C2H6), Propane (C3Hg), Butane (C4H10), Pentane.(C5H12) and Hexane (C6H14) etc. are the members of this series.

(iii) Ethanol forms sodium ethoxide by the reaction swith Na and hydrogen gas is liberated with effervescence while ethanoic acid forms sodium acetate (Sodium Ethanoate) by the reaction with Na.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4 Carbon and Its Compounds 22

Question 8.
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:
When soap is added in water then its two ends have differing properties, one is hydrophilic which dissolves in water, while the other end is hydrophobic, which dissolves in hydrocarbons not in water. When this is added in water ionic end of soap remains in water and the hydrocarbon ‘tail’ out of water. Inside water, these molecules have a unique orientation that keeps the hydrocarbon portion out of the water.

This is achieved by forming clusters of molecules in which the hydrophobic tails are in the inner side of the cluster and the ionic ends are on the surface of the cluster. This structure is called a micelle. Soap in the form of a micelle is able to clean, because the oily dirt is collected in the centre of the micelle. Soap is soluble insolvent like Ethanol so micelle will not form in such type of solvents.

RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4 Carbon and Its Compounds

Question 9.
Why are carbon and its compounds used as fuels for most applications.
Answer:
Carbon and its compounds are used as fuels due to following reasons:
(i) When carbon and its compounds are burned in presence of excess air or oxygen then large amount of heat and light is produced.
(ii) Once burned, they keep on burning without needing additional heat energy.
(iii) Calorific value of these is high.

Question 10.
Explain the formation of scum when hard water is treated with soap.
Answer:
When hard water is treated with soap, foam is formed with difficulty because soap forms insoluble salt by the reaction with calcium and magnesium salt present in hard water. This insoluble salts is called scum. In this situation large amount of soap is used to form the foam.

Question 11.
What change will you observe if you test soap with litmus paper (Red and Blue)?
Answer:
The soap solution is alkaline because it is the salt of weak acid and strong base so it turns red litmus into blue but it does not have any effect on blue litmus.

Question 12.
What is Hydrogenation? What is its industrial application?
Answer:
Addition of hydrogen to unsaturated hydrocarbons in presence of a catalyst such as nickel (Ni) or palladium (Pd) to give saturated hydrocarbons is called hydrogenation.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4 Carbon and Its Compounds 23
micelle. Soap in the form of a micelle is able to clean, because the oily dirt will be collected in the centre of the micelle. The micelles remains in solution as a colloid and will not come together to precipitate because of ion- ion repulsion. Thus, the dirt suspended in the micelles can be removed easily. The soap micelles are large enough to scatter light. So, a soap solution appears cloudy.
