PREVIOUS YEAR QUESTIONS

CLASS 10 – CBSE
CHEMISTRY
CARBON AND ITS COMPOUNDS

Q1. The number of single and double bonds present in a molecule of


benzene (C6H6) respectively, are:
a. 6 and 6
b. 9 and 3
c. 3 and 9
d. 3 and 3

Q2. The structural formula of Cyclohexane is:

Q3. Which one of the following hydrocarbons is different from the others?
a. C4H10
b. C7H14
c. C5H12
d. C2H6

Q4. Case/Source based questions.


More than three million carbon compounds have been discovered in the field
of chemistry. The diversity of these compounds is due to the capacity of carbon
atoms for bonding with one another as well as with other atoms.
Most of the carbon compounds are poor conductors of electricity and have
low melting and boiling points.

drop by drop to some warm ethanol taken in a test tube? State the role of
KMnO4 in the reaction and write the chemical equation for the reaction
involved.

the reaction? Write the chemical equation for the reaction involved.

Q5. Distinguish between a saturated and an unsaturated hydrocarbon by flame


test. List the products of combustion reaction of a saturated hydrocarbon.

Q6. Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethanoic acid an oxidation reaction?


Name the oxidising agent used in this conversion. Write chemical equation for
this oxidation reaction. How is this reaction different from the reaction in which
ethanol burns in the presence of oxygen?

Q7. The melting and boiling points of carbon compounds are generally low and
they are largely non-conductors of electricity. State two conclusions based on
these two properties.

Q8. Carbon is a versatile element that forms the basis of all living organisms and
many of the things we use. A large variety of compounds is formed because of
its tetravalency. Compounds of carbon are formed with oxygen, hydrogen,
nitrogen, sulphur, chlorine and many other elements.

a. What are hydrocarbons
b. List two properties by virtue of which carbon can form a large number of
compounds.

Q9. Write the formula of the functional group present in (1) aldehydes, and (2)
ketones. Write chemical equation for the reaction that occurs between ethanoic
acid and ethanol in the presence of a catalyst.
