Exercise

Mostly inorganic compounds are soluble in:

The phenomena exhibited by organic compounds in which a single molecular formula represents different organic compounds-

Write any two properties of organic compounds.

Read the description given below and say whether it fits for ethanol or ethanoic acid.

(i) It is used to preserve food and fruit juices.

(ii) On cooling, it is frozen to from ice flakes which looks like a glacier.

Give the balanced chemical equation of the following reaction:

Evolution of carbon dioxide by the action of ethanoic acid with ${\mathrm{NaHCO}}_3$.

An organic compound $‘\mathrm{A}’$ is widely used as a preservative and has the molecular formula ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_4{\mathrm{O}}_2$. This compound reacts with ethanol to form a sweet smelling compound $‘\mathrm{B}’$.

Identify the compound $‘\mathrm{A}’$.

Can you list the uses of ethanoic acid?

Differentiate soaps and detergents.
