 CH4, C3H6, C3H8, C4H6, C5H12, C5H10
 Solution :

CH4, C3H8 and C5H12; all these are saturated hydrocarbons (Alkanes) and hence will give substitution reactions.
Solution 23
C2H4 and C3H4 will give addition reactions because these are unsaturated hydrocarbons (Alkene and Alkyne) and unsaturated hydrocarbons give addition reactions.

Question 24:
(a) Write the chemical equation of the reaction which takes place during the burning of ethanol in air.
 (b) Why is ethanol used as a fuel ?
 (c) State two uses of ethanol (other than as a fuel).
 Solution :

Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Carbon And Its Compounds, Solutions- 4 | Science Class 10

(c) Uses of ethanol:
(i) It is used in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, lacquers, medicines, perfumes, dyes, soaps and synthetic rubber.
(ii) It is used as a solvent. Many organic compounds which are insoluble in water are soluble in ethyl alcohol.

Question 25:
(a) What happens when propanoic acid is warmed with methanol in the presence of a few drops of
 concentrated sulphuric acid ? Write equation of the reaction involved.
 (b) What change will you observe if you test soap solution with a litmus paper (red and blue) ? Give reason for your observation.
 (c) What is meant by denatured alcohol ? What is the need to denature alcohol ?
 Solution :

(a) Propanoic acid will react with the alcohol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid to form esters.
Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Carbon And Its Compounds, Solutions- 4 | Science Class 10
(b) Red litmus paper turns blue in soap solution and no change occurs on blue litmus paper because soap is basic in nature.
(c) Denatured alcohol is ethyl alcohol which has been made unfit for drinking purposes by adding small amounts of poisonous substances like methanol, pyridine, copper sulphate etc. This is done to prevent the misuse of industrial alcohol for drinking purposes or black marketing (as it is supplied duty free for industrial purposes by the government).

Question 26:
(a) How would you test for an alcohol ?
 (b) Give the harmful effects of drinking alcohol.
 (c)Explain why, methanol is much more dangerous to drink than ethanol.
 Solution :

(a) Sodium metal test: Add a small piece of sodium metal to the organic liquid (to be tested), taken in a dry test tube. If bubbles (or effervescence) of hydrogen gas are produced, it indicates that the given organic liquid is an alcohol.
(b) Harmful effects of drinking alcohol:
(i) Alcohol slows down the activity of the nervous system and brain due to which the judgement of a person is impaired and his reaction becomes slow.
(ii) Heavy drinking of alcohol on a particular occasion leads to staggered movement, slurred speech and vomiting.
(c) Unlike ethanol, drinking methanol, even in a small quantity can be fatal leading to permanent blindness and even death. Methanol damages the optic nerve causing permanent blindness in a person. This happens because methanol is oxidised to methanal in the liver of a person. This methanal reacts rapidly with the components of the cell causing coagulation of their protoplasm. Due to this, the cells stop functioning normally.

1. Take about 20 ml of castor oil (cottonseed oil, linseed oil or soya bean oil) in a beaker.
2. Add 30 ml of 20% sodium hydroxide solution to it.
3. Heat the mixture with constant stirring till a paste of soap is formed.
4. Then add 5 to 10 grams of common salt (sodium chloride).
5. Stir the mixture well and allow it to cool. On cooling the solution, solid soap separates out.
6. When the soap sets, it can be cut into pieces called ‘soap bars’.
(b) Common salt is added to the mixture to make the soap come out of solution. Though most of the soap separates out on its own but some of it remains in solution. Common salt is added to precipitate out all the soap from the aqueous solution.
(c) When soap is used for washing clothes with hard water, a large amount of soap in water is reacting with the calcium and magnesium ions of hard water to form an insoluble precipitate called scum, before it can be used for the real purpose of washing.

Question 48:
(a) Name the reaction which is usually used in the conversion of vegetable oils to fats. Explain the reaction
 involved in detail. Write a chemical equation to illustrate your answer.

 (c) Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water ? Will a micelle be formed in other solvents like ethanol also ?
 Solution :

(a) Catalytic hydrogenation is usually used in conversion of vegetable oils to fats. Hydrogenation of oils: Vegetable oils are unsaturated fats having double bonds between some of their carbon atoms and can undergo addition reactions. When a vegetable oil (like groundnut oil) is heated with hydrogen in the presence of finely divided nickel as catalyst, then a saturated fat called vegetable ghee (or vanaspati ghee) is formed. This reaction is called hydrogenation of oils and it can be represented as follow.

(b) The process of making soap by the hydrolysis of FatcrCl + Scdiumhydroxlde Scep + Glycerd fats and oils with alkalis called saponification.  

Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Carbon And Its Compounds, Solutions- 4 | Science Class 10

(c) Soap are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids. When soap is added to the water, the hydrophilic end (acid end) will align along the surface of water and the hydrophobic tail (carbon chain) remains out of water. When a soap is dissolved in water, it forms a colloidal suspension in water in which the soap molecules cluster together to form spherical aggregates called micelles. In a soap micelle, soap molecules are arranged radially Wth hydrocarbon ends directed towards the centre and ionic ends directed ounvards. 

No, micelle will not be formed in other solvents such as ethanol because hydrocarbon chains of soap molecules are soluble in organic solvents like ethanol. 

Question 49:
 (a) What is a soap ? Name one soap.
 (b) Describe the structure of a soap molecule with the help of a diagram.
 (c) Explain the cleansing action of soap. Draw diagrams to illustrate your answer.
 Solution :

(a) A soap is the sodium salt (or potassium salt) of a long chain carboxylic acid (fatty acid) which has cleansing properties in water.
Example: Sodium stearate, C17H35COONa+
Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Carbon And Its Compounds, Solutions- 4 | Science Class 10
(b) A soap molecule has two parts: the long chain organic part and the ionic part containing the -COONa+group. It has to be remembered that this is not an ion, the atoms are all covalently bonded, the electrical charges show how the charges get polarized in the group. A soap molecule has a tadpole like structure shown below:
(c) Cleaning action of soap has been explained with the help of the image below:
Soaps are molecules in which the two ends have differing properties, one is hydrophilic, that is it dissolves in water, while the other end is hydrophobic, that is it dissolves in hydrocarbons. When soap is at the surface of water, the hydrophobic ‘tail’ of soap will not be soluble in water and the soap will align along the surface of water with the ionic end in water and the hydrocarbon ‘tail’ protruding out of water.
Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Carbon And Its Compounds, Solutions- 4 | Science Class 10
Inside water, these molecules have a unique orientation that keeps the hydrocarbon portion inside the water. This is achieved by forming clusters of molecules in which the hydrophobic tails are in the interior of the cluster and the ionic ends are on the surface of the cluster. This formation is called a micelle. When a dirty cloth is put in water containing dissolved soap, then soap in the form of a micelle is able to clean. The hydrocarbon ends of the soap attach to the oily dirt particles and entrap them at the centre of the micelle. the ionic ends in the micelles remain attached to water. When the dirty cloth is agitated in soap solution, the oily dirt particles entrapped by soap micelles get dispersed in water and the cloth gets cleaned.

FAQs on Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur: Carbon And Its Compounds, Solutions- 4 - Science Class 10

1. What is the importance of carbon compounds in our daily life?
Ans. Carbon compounds have immense importance in our daily life. They are the building blocks of all living organisms and form the basis of organic chemistry. Carbon compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are essential for our nutrition. They are also used in various industries for the production of fuels, polymers, dyes, medicines, and many other useful substances.
2. What are the different types of carbon compounds?
Ans. Carbon compounds can be broadly classified into three types: hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, and organic acids. Hydrocarbons are compounds made up of only carbon and hydrogen atoms, such as methane and ethane. Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and they include sugars and starches. Organic acids are compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, along with one or more carboxyl groups, such as acetic acid.
3. How does carbon form multiple bonds with other atoms?
Ans. Carbon can form multiple bonds with other atoms due to its electron configuration. It has four valence electrons in its outermost shell, allowing it to form up to four covalent bonds. Carbon can share electrons with other elements, such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens, to form stable compounds. The ability of carbon to form multiple bonds makes it the backbone of organic chemistry and allows for the diversity of carbon compounds.
4. What are the greenhouse gases and their role in climate change?
Ans. Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contribute to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases are the main greenhouse gases. These gases absorb and emit infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping into space and causing the Earth's temperature to rise. The increased concentration of greenhouse gases, primarily due to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, is leading to global warming and climate change.
5. How do carbon compounds play a role in the carbon cycle?
Ans. Carbon compounds play a crucial role in the carbon cycle, which is the movement of carbon through various processes in the environment. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and convert it into carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are then consumed by animals, and carbon is transferred through the food chain. When organisms die, their bodies decompose, and carbon is released back into the environment as carbon dioxide or other carbon compounds. The carbon cycle helps maintain a balance of carbon in the atmosphere and is essential for the survival of all living organisms.
