CBSE ASSIGNMENT CLASS – X Chapte - CARBON AND ITS COMPOUNDS


Q 1. Justify the nature of physical and chemical properties of the compound of homologous series -2
CBSE 2013-14

A Homologous Series is a group of organic chemical compounds, usually listed in order of increasing size, that have a similar structure (and hence also similar properties) and whose structures differ only by the number of CH2 units in the main carbon chain.

1. Chemical Properties

Organic compounds that are part of the same homologous series generally have similar chemical properties as each other, due to the presence of the same functional group in the molecules of all compounds in the series.

2. Physical Properties

The physical property of any particular member of a homologous series depends on its size, or its position within the homologous series. The physical properties, such as solubility, melting point, boiling point, specific gravity etc. show a gradual change with the increase in their relative molecular masses.

Q 2. Apart from organic being where else we find carbon? Mention the form in which it is available there and also its percentage CBSE 2013-14
Ans: Apart from organic being we find carbon in the earth’s crust about 0.02% in the form of minerals like carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, coal and petroleum CBSE 2013-14

Q3. How are carboxylic acids different from mineral acid on the basis of ionization point of view? CBSE 2013-14
Ans: Carboxylic acids are weak acids and do not ionised completely where as mineral acids like HCl ionised completely.

Q5. Write chemical equation to describe different oxidations of ethanol. CBSE 2013-14

Ans: Ethanol is oxidized to ethanoic acid with alkaline KMnO4 or acidified K2Cr2O7

CH3CH2OH ----Oxidation---> CH3COOH (Ethanoic acid) + H2O

During this reaction, orange colour of K2Cr2O7 changes to green. Therefore, this reaction can be used for the identification of alcohols.
