Sample Questions
Which of the following are saturated hydrocarbons?
Show answer
Methane (CH₄), Ethane (C₂H₆), Propane (C₃H₈)
Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds between carbon atoms. Methane, ethane, and propane are alkanes with only single bonds, while ethene has a double bond and ethyne has a triple bond.
Which of the following properties are characteristic of carbon compounds?
Show answer
Low melting points, Poor electrical conductivity, Covalent bonding
Carbon compounds generally have low melting points (usually below 300°C), are poor electrical conductors due to lack of free ions, and contain covalent bonds formed by sharing electrons.
Ethene burns with which type of flame?
Show answer
Yellow sooty flame
Ethene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a higher carbon content. Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn with yellow sooty flames due to incomplete combustion producing carbon particles.
Which reaction occurs when ethanol is heated with concentrated sulfuric acid at 170°C?
Show answer
Dehydration
When ethanol is heated with concentrated H₂SO₄ at 170°C, a water molecule is removed (dehydration) to form ethene: CH₃CH₂OH → CH₂=CH₂ + H₂O.
