Question 6.1

Give reasons for the following :

Concentrated sulphuric acid may be added during esterification of acetic acid.

Answer

Reversible reaction may be prevented by using conc. H2SO4 when the reaction is about to complete by removing H2O.

H}_2\text{SO}_4} \underset{\text{ethyl ethanoate}}{\text{CH}_3-\text{COO}-\text{C}_2\text{H}_5} + \text{H}_2\text{O}

Question 6.2

Give reasons for the following :

Isomers belonging to the same homologous series may differ in physical properties but not in chemical properties.

Answer

As isomers have same general molecular formula and functional group (if any) and only differ in structural formula, hence, they show same chemical properties and differ in physical properties.

Question 6.3

Give reasons for the following :

A given organic compound can be assigned only one name on the basis of the IUPAC system.

Answer

IUPAC is a systematic way of nomenclature of organic compounds that takes into account only one molecular structure of the compound. Hence, it assigns only one name to the compound.

Question 6.4

Give reasons for the following :

Substitution reactions are characteristic reactions of saturated organic compounds only.

Answer

In saturated hydrocarbons, all the four valencies of each carbon are satisfied by the hydrogen atoms, forming single covalent bond. The non-availability of electrons in the single covalent bond makes them less reactive and therefore undergo characteristic substitution reaction only. Addition reactions are not possible in case of saturated organic compounds.

Question 6.5

Give reasons for the following :

Acetic acid is considered an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid.

Answer

Acetic acid (CH3 – COOH) contains only one – COOH group (carboxylic acid group) that is why it is called a monocarboxylic acid. As acetic acid does not contain a benzene ring, so it is an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid.
