(c) When a candle is lighted, the wax melts, rises up the wick and gets converted into vapours. In a candle, there is no provision for the proper mixing of oxygen (of air) for burning wax vapours. So, the wax vapours bum in an insufficient supply of oxygen (of air) which leads to incomplete combustion of wax. This incomplete combustion of wax produces small unburnt carbon particles. These solid carbon particles rise in the flame, get heated and glow to give out yellowish light. This makes the candle flame yellow and luminous.

(d) Describe how petroleum was formed in the earth.
(e) Name a fossil fuel other than coal and petroleum.
Solution :
(a) When carbon is burned in air, it forms carbon dioxide gas and releases a large amount of heat and some light:
C +02 → C02 + Heat + Light
(b) Coal and petroleum are called as fossil fuels because they were formed by the decomposition of the remains of the pre-historic plants and animals (fossils) buried under the earth long, long, ago.
(c) Coal was formed by the decomposition of large land plants and trees buried under the earth millions of years ago. It is believed that millions of years ago, due to earthquakes and volcanoes, etc., the forests were buried under the surface of the earth and got covered with sand, clay and water. Due to high temperature and high pressure inside the earth, and in the absence of air, wood was converted into coal.
(d) Petroleum oil (and natural gas) was formed by the decomposition of the remains of extremely small plants and animals buried under the sea millions of years ago. It is believed that millions of years ago, the microscopic plants and animals which lived in seas, died. Their bodies sank to the bottom of the sea and were soon covered with mud and sand. The chemical effects of pressure, heat and bacteria, converted the remains of microscopic plants and animals into petroleum oil and natural gas just as they converted forest trees into coal. This conversion took place in the absence of oxygen or air. The petroleum thus formed got trapped between two layers of impervious rocks (non-porous rocks) forming an oil trap.
(e) Natural gas.

Question 5:
Why does ethyne (acetylene) burn with a sooty flame ?
Solution :
Ethyne (acetylene) burn with a sooty flame because ethyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon and the percentage of carbon in these hydrocarbons is comparatively higher which does not get oxidised completely in oxygen of air.
Question 6:

Solution :
Ethane is formed when hydrogen is added to ethene.
Question 7:
Explain why, ethene decolourises bromine water whereas ethane does not.
Solution :
Ethene decolourises bromine water because ethene is an alkene. And all alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated compounds which decolourise bromine water. On the other hand, ethane being an alkane is a saturated compound which does not decolourise bromine water.
Question 8:
Name two catalysts which can be used in the hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds.
Solution :
Nickel or palladium can be used as catalyst in the hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds.
Question 9:
State two disadvantages of incomplete combustion.

Question 10:
What happens when (give chemical equation) :
Sodium reacts with ethanol (ethyl alcohol)

Question 11:
Describe one reaction of ethanol.
Solution :
Ethanol reacts with sodium metal to form sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is used as a test for ethanol. When a small piece of sodium metal is put into ethanol in a dry test tube, rapid effervescence is produced due to evolution of hydrogen gas.
2C2H5OH + 2Na → 2C2H5O-Na+ + H2

(ii) Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)
(iii) Sodium chloride (common salt)
Question 14:
Would you be able to check whether water is hard by using a detergent ? Why ?
Solution :
No, we would not be able to check the hardness of water by using a detergent because a detergent forms lather easily even with hard water.
Question 15:
Describe a test for carboxylic acids.
Solution :
Litmus test: Some blue litmus solution is added to the organic compound (to be tested). If the blue litmus solution turns red, it shows that the organic compound is acidic in nature and hence it is a carboxylic acid.
Question 16:
Why is the conversion of ethanol into ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction ?
Solution :
Oxidation means controlled combustion. When ethanol is heated with alkaline potassium permanganate solution (or acidified potassium dichromate solution), it gets oxidised to ethanoic acid. It is called an oxidation reaction because oxygen is added to it during this conversion.
Question 17:
Explain why, alkanes are excellent fuels.
Solution :
Alkanes burn in air to produce a lot of heat due to which they are known to be excellent fuels.
Question 18:
