Carbon and its Compounds

Solution: Carbon can neither lose 4 electrons nor do gain four electrons as these processes make the system unstable due to the requirement of extra energy. Therefore CH3Cl completes its octet configuration by sharing its 4 electrons with carbon atoms or with atoms of other elements. Hence the bonding that exists in CH3Cl is covalent. …

Solution:

Solution : Many impurities and dirt are mixed in the water, and most of all the dirt does not dissolve in the water. Soap molecules are a combination of salts such as sodium or potassium. The molecules are of a long chain of salt of fatty acids. So, when the carbon chain is dissolved in …

Solution : Differentiate Alkane, Alkene and Alkyne

Solution :

Solution:

Solution: Bromine water test – Bromine water is used to differentiate between unsaturated compounds (like alkenes and alkynes) and saturated compounds. For this purpose, bromine is used in the form of bromine water. A solution of bromine in water is called bromine water. Bromine water has a red-brown colour due to the presence of bromine …

Solution: Hydrogenation of oil : long fatty acids of Unsaturated hydrocarbons add hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as palladium or nickel to give saturated hydrocarbons.This reaction is commonly used in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils using a nickel catalyst. Vegetable oils generally have long unsaturated carbon chains while animal fats have saturated carbon chains.You must have …

Solution: When soap dissolves in water, alkaline NaOH or KOH forms, making the solution alkaline. The red litmus turns blue in the solution, but the blue litmus stays blue in the soap solution.

Solution: Scum is produced from reaction of hard water with soap. Calcium and magnesium chloride and sulphate present in the hard water form an insoluble precipitate that stick as a white which is also called as scum.
