Exercises
Question 1.

Select the proper option and complete the statements

(single, all, double, ionic, carbon, give and take, hydrogen, multiple, share, most, covalent)

A. A carbon atom forms a …… bond with other atoms. In this bond the two atoms …. electrons.

B. All the carbon bonds in a saturated hydrocarbon ....…. electrons.

C. At least one carbon bond in an unsaturated hydrocarbon is ….

D. …. is the essential element in all the organic compounds?

E. The element hydrogen is present in …. organic compound.


Answer:

A. A carbon atom forms a covalent bond with other atoms. In this bond the two atoms share electrons.


Explanation: A carbon atom forms a covalent bond with other atoms


because its outer shell is half full as shown in the figure below:



In the covalent bond, sharing of electrons takes place. For example:


CH4



B. All the carbon bonds in a saturated hydrocarbon share electrons.


Explanation: The hydrocarbons having only single bonds between carbon atoms are called saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated


form covalent bond (by sharing of electrons)


C. At least one carbon bond in an unsaturated hydrocarbon is


double.


Explanation: Some hydrocarbons have a multiple bond between two carbon atoms. A multiple bond can be a double bond or a triple


bond. Hydrocarbons having at least one multiple bond are called unsaturated hydrocarbons.


For example, ethene



D. Carbon is the essential element in all the organic compounds.


Explanation: A carbon atom exhibits a characteristic property. It can form a chain of carbon atoms by forming covalent bonds with


other carbon atoms. Hence, it is the most essential element in the organic compounds.


E. The element hydrogen is present in most organic compounds.


Explanation: Along with carbon, the element hydrogen is also included in most organic compounds.



Question 2.

Answer the following questions

Why are carbon and its compounds used as fuels?


Answer:

A. Carbon and its compounds used as fuels due to the following reasons:


1. When most of the carbon and its compounds is burnt in air, it gives a lot of heat, light and energy.


2. They have high calorific value. Thus, on burning in air, they give large amount of heat and energy.


3. When saturated hydrocarbon (hydrocarbon having single bond) is burnt in air, less smoke with a clean flame is produced.


Note: Calorific value is the amount of heat liberated in calories by the complete combustion of a combustible material with oxygen.



Question 3.

Answer the following questions

In which compound forms does carbon occur?


Answer:

Carbon occurs in crystalline forms, non-crystalline(amorphous) forms and in hydrocarbons forms.

1. Carbon has three crystalline forms(allotropes) which are Diamond, Graphite and Fullerene.


2. Coal, charcoal, coke are the non-crystalline forms of carbon.


3. The two types of hydrocarbons forms in which carbon occur are saturated hydrocarbons and unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Question 6.

Write scientific reasons

A. Graphite is a conductor of electricity.

B. Graphite is not used in ornaments.

C. Limewater turns milky when CO2 is passed through it.

D. Biogas is an eco-friendly fuel.


Answer:

A. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity due to the following reasons:


1. In graphite, carbon atoms are arranged in different layers.


2. In each layer, every carbon atom is linked to three neighboring carbon atoms.


3. Thus, the fourth electron of each carbon atom is free to move continuously within the entire layer.


4. Because of the presence of these free electrons in different layers, graphite becomes a god conductor of electricity.


B. Graphite is not used in ornaments due to the following facts:


1. For making ornaments, properties like transparency of substance, reflection of light and hardness should be present.


2. But in graphite, all these properties are absent.


3. It is soft, brittle, black and slippery in nature.


4. Thus, it is not used in making ornaments.


C. When limewater (CaOH)2 is passed through CO2, the following reaction takes place:


(CaOH)2 + CO2→ CaCO3 + H2O


Limewater Calcium


Carbonate


1. In this reaction, when limewater comes in contact with the gas released in the form of an effervescence, it turns milky. This is chemical test for carbon dioxide gas.


2. When limewater turns milky, it is confirmed that the effervescence is of carbon dioxide.



D. Biogas is an ecofriendly fuel:


a. Animal dung, dry leaves, wet garbage get decomposed by anaerobic microbes in a biogas plant.


b. This produces biogas (methane gas).


c. Biogas is a very cheap fuel option which is also used for cooking gas.


d. It is also used for production of an electricity.


e. Biogas contains about 55% to 60% methane and the rest is carbon dioxide.


f. Biogas is a very good manure and is convenient to use.


g. It is a very good manure.

5. Fullerene exists in the form of buckyballs and buckytubes.



Question 8.

Explain the following.

Methane is called marsh gas.


Answer: Methane gas is also called "marsh gas" because it is the product of decay in swamps and marshes from organic material underwater and in the muck.
The main process for the production of methane is anaerobic digestion.

Question 9.

Explain the following.

Petrol, diesel, coal are fossil fuels.


Answer:

Petrol, diesel, coal are fossil fuels because:

1. They are main source of heat and energy.


2. They release heat, light and energy when burnt in air.


3. They are formed from the decayed living organisms (plants and animals) that are present in the earth’s crust.

Use of CO2 in fire extinguisher


Answer:

CO2 is used in fire extinguisher:

1. CO2 is filled under pressure in the fire extinguisher.

When methane (CH4) is burnt in the presence of oxygen to form evolve a bluish flame. In the above reaction, the methane burns completely.


2. CH4 + Cl2→ CH3Cl + HCl


Explanation:


Methane(CH4) and chlorine(Cl2) gases react with each other in presence of UV light and form mainly methyl chloride (chloromethane – CH3Cl) and hydrogen chloride. This reaction is called chlorination of methane.

Answer:

A. The different types of coal are peat, bituminous, anthracite and Lignite.


Peat- It is generally used as a fertilizer, as a packing material (due to its spongy nature).


Lignite- It is used in power generation (to generate electricity) and is used to create fertilizer products like anhydrous ammonia and ammonium sulphate.


Bituminous- It is mainly used for the combustion for coke, tar, coal, chemical and coke-oven gas. It is widely used for steam raising.


Anthracite- It is mostly used in metallurgical process and used in hand-fire furnaces.

Question 19.

How will you verify the properties of carbon dioxide?


Answer:

Methods to verify the properties of carbon dioxide are:


1. By using limewater


Step 1: Take some limewater in a test tube.


Step 2: Take some baking soda in another test tube and add lemon juice to it. Fit the bent tube over it.


Step 3: Insert its other end into the lime water.


Observations: We will observe that limewater turns milky as it comes in contact with the released gas in the form of effervescence. When limewater turns milky, it is confirmed that the effervescence released is of carbon dioxide gas.
