Worked practice questions

Which of the following is an unsaturated hydrocarbon?

  1. Methane (CH4)
  2. Propane (C3H8)
  3. Ethene (C2H4)
  4. Butane (C4H10)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Ethene (C2H4)

1. Saturated hydrocarbons have only C-C single bonds. 2. Methane, propane and butane are alkanes (CnH(2n+2)). 3. Ethene has a C=C double bond (C2H4) and follows CnH(2n). 4. So ethene is the unsaturated hydrocarbon here. 5. The double bond makes it more chemically reactive than alkanes. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 4 'Carbon and its Compounds' (byjus.com extract)_

Why are the chemical properties of all members of a homologous series similar?

  1. They have the same molecular mass
  2. They are all gases
  3. They have the same melting point
  4. They share the same functional group
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. They share the same functional group

1. A homologous series is built around one functional group. 2. Members differ only by a -CH2- unit. 3. The functional group determines chemical behaviour. 4. Identical functional groups give identical chemical properties. 5. Physical properties such as melting point change with chain length. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 4 'Carbon and its Compounds' (byjus.com extract)_

Which of these reactions is a substitution reaction?

  1. CH4 + Cl2 -> CH3Cl + HCl (in sunlight)
  2. C2H4 + H2 -> C2H6 (with Ni)
  3. CH3OH + Na -> CH3ONa + 1/2 H2
  4. CH3COOH + NaOH -> CH3COONa + H2O
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. CH4 + Cl2 -> CH3Cl + HCl (in sunlight)

1. Substitution means one atom in a molecule is replaced by another. 2. In CH4 + Cl2 -> CH3Cl + HCl, a hydrogen atom is replaced by chlorine. 3. Option B is addition across a double bond. 4. Option C is a metal-acid type reaction; option D is acid-base neutralisation. 5. So option A is the substitution reaction. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 4 'Carbon and its Compounds' (byjus.com extract)_
