TEST 24/TEST 7

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Question 1
Write the equation for the following :[3]
(i) Calcium carbide and water
CaC2 + 2H2O ⟶ C2H2+ Ca(OH)2
(ii) Bromoethane and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide
C2H5Br +aq NaOH⟶C2H5OH + NaBr
(ii) complete combustion of ethane
2C2H6 + 7O2 [excess] ⟶ 4CO2 + 6H2O + Δ

Question 2
Why is pure acetic acid known as glacial acetic acid ?[1]
Anhydrous acetic acid on cooling below 16.5°C, crystallizes out in the pure form,
forming a crystalline mass resembling ice. Hence, pure acetic acid is called glacial
acetic acid.

Question: 3
What type of compound is formed by the reaction between acetic acid and an alcohol
Write equation for the same.[2]

Ester is formed by the reaction between acetic acid and an alcohol.

C2H5OH+CH3COOH Conc. H2SO4 CH3−COO−C2H5+H2O

Question 4
Find the odd one out in each case and explain your choice.[2]
(i) C3H8 , C5H10, C2H6, CH4
C5H10 [Rest all are alkanes and this is an alkene]
(ii) Formic acid, Nitric acid, Acetic acid, Propanoic acid
Nitric acid [Rest all are organic acids and this is inorganic acid]
Question 5
Fill in the blanks with the correct words from the brackets:[4]
Generally ionic compounds exist in (i) ............... [solid/liquid/gas] state. Melting and
boiling points of covalent compounds are generally (ii) ............... [low/high]. The
general formula for alkane is (iii) ............... (CnH2n/CnH2n-2/CnH2n+2). For alkynes the
general formula is (iv) ............... (CnH2n/ CnH2n-2/CnH2n+2)
Question 6
Give chemical equation for :[3]
(i) The laboratory preparation of methane from sodium acetate.
CH3COONa+NaOH CaO ʌ CH4+Na2CO3
(ii) The reaction of one mole of ethene with one mole of chlorine gas.

(iii) The preparation of ethyne from 1, 2 – dibromoethane.
