Card 1Substitution Reactions

What is a substitution reaction? Give an example with a balanced chemical equation.

Answer

A substitution reaction is a chemical reaction in which an atom or group of atoms is replaced with another atom or group of atoms in a compound. Example: CH₄ + Cl₂ → CH₃Cl + HCl (in presence of sunli

Card 2Addition Reactions

Define addition reactions and explain why only unsaturated compounds undergo such reactions.

Answer

Addition reactions are reactions in which unsaturated organic compounds with double or triple bonds combine with certain molecules to form saturated compounds. Only unsaturated compounds undergo addi

Card 3Addition Reactions

Complete the equation and name the product: CH₂=CH₂ + Cl₂ → ?

Answer

CH₂=CH₂ + Cl₂ → CH₂Cl-CH₂Cl Product: 1,2-dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride) This is an addition reaction where chlorine adds across the double bond of ethene to form a saturated dichloride compoun

Card 4Polymerization

What is polymerization? Distinguish between addition and condensation polymerization with examples.

Answer

Polymerization is the process by which simple molecules (monomers) join together to form large complex molecules (polymers). Addition Polymerization: - Monomers add repeatedly without elimination of

Card 5Polymerization

Name the monomer and write the polymerization reaction for PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).

Answer

Monomer: Vinyl Chloride (CH₂=CHCl) Polymerization reaction: nCH₂=CHCl → [-CH₂-CHCl-]ₙ PVC Uses of PVC: Manufacture of pipes, plastic furniture, coating of electric conductors, etc.

Card 6Thermal Cracking

What is thermal cracking? Write the equation for thermal cracking of propane.

Answer

Thermal cracking is the process where hydrocarbons with high molecular weight decompose into hydrocarbons with lower molecular weight when heated in the absence of air. Thermal cracking of propane: C

Card 7Combustion

Write the general combustion reaction for hydrocarbons and complete: 2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → ?

Answer

General combustion reaction: Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + Heat + Light Completed equation: 2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O + Heat All hydrocarbons on burning give the same products: carbon dioxide, w

Card 8Alcohols

How is methanol prepared industrially? Write the equation and mention its uses.

Answer

Industrial preparation of methanol: CO + 2H₂ → CH₃OH (catalyst, 573K) Methanol (CH₃OH) is also called wood spirit. Uses: - Manufacturing varnish and paint - Manufacture of formic acid and formaldehy
