Answer:

Reasoning based Questions

Question 1: Hydrocarbons are excellent fuels. Give reason.
Answer: Hydrocarbons are excellent fuels because they ignite easily at low temperature and liberate large amount of heat without producing harmful products.

Question 2: Why alkanes are so inert ?
Answer: It is because in a molecule, a reactive site has one or more unshared pairs of. electrons and a polar bond or an electron deficient atom. Alkanes have none of these.

Question 3: Why alkanes are insoluble in water ?
Answer: Alkanes are insoluble in water because alkanes are called hydrophobic hydrocarbons. They have phobia for water. These are insoluble because these cannot make hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

Question 4: Methane is called as marsh gas. Why ?
Answer: Because methane is formed by the decomposition of plant and animal matter lying under water in marshy areas.

Question 5: Methane does not undergo addition reactions, but ethene does. Why ?
Answer: Because methane is saturated hydrocarbon while ethene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Addition reactions are characteristic properties of unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Question 6: Why it is dangerous to bum methane in an insufficient supply of air ?
Answer: Because it will form carbon monoxide which is poisonous for human beings as it cuts off the oxygen supply by forming carboxy haemoglobin in the blood.

Question 7: Why light or heat is necessary for chlorination of alkanes ?
Answer: The Cl-Cl bond must be broken to form Cl radicals, before the chlorination of alkanes can commence. The breaking of bond requires energy which is supplied either by heat or light.

Question 8: Ethene undergoes addition reactions with halogens whereas ethane undergoes substitution reactions. Why ?
Answer: Ethene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon so, it adds up a molecule of halogen to give a saturated compound, whereas, ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon compound and hence, can only undergo substitution reaction with halogen.

Question 9: Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons. Give reason.
Answer: Alkynes have triple bonds, so they are unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Question 10: Why ethyne is more reactive than ethane ?
Answer: Ethyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a triple covalent bond. Ethane is a saturated hydrocarbon and hence is less reactive than ethyne.

Question 11: Acetylene bums with sooty flame. Why ?
Answer: Acetylene has higher proportion of carbon and all carbon in it does not burn completely. Hence, unburnt carbon particles make the flame sooty.

Question 12: Why pure acetic acid known as glacial acetic acid ?
Answer: Because on cooling below its melting point (17°C) it solidifies and forms little ice-like crystals.
