Question 12 Marks
Methane does not undergo addition reaction, but ethane does.
Answer
Alkanes are saturated, i.e. they do not have a carbon-to-carbon double bond, and so do not undergo an addition reaction. Alkenes are said to be unsaturated because of the carbon-to-carbon double bond in their structure, and the double bond in alkenes makes them more reactive than alkanes.

Question 22 Marks
Ethyl alcohol to Ethane.
Answer
When concentrated sulphuric acid is added to ethyl alcohol, it causes dehydration to give ethene. Ethene reacts with hydrozen in presence of $Ni$ to give ethane.
$
C _2 H _5 OH \xrightarrow[170^{-}]{\text {Conc } \cdot H _2 SO _4} CH _2= CH _2+ H _2 O
$
$
CH _2= CH _2+ H _2 \xrightarrow[300^{\circ} C ]{ Ni } CH _3- CH _3

Answer
Sructural formula of carbon tetrachloride:
$\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{Cl}\\
|\\
\ce{Cl-C-Cl}\\
|\\
\ce{Cl}
\end{array}$
The bond is Covalent Bond.

Question 42 Marks
Why is pure acetic acid also known as glacial acetic acid?
Answer
Acetic acid that contains a very low amount of water (less than 1%) is called anhydrous (water-free) acetic acid or glacial acetic acid. The reason its called glacial is because it solidifies into solid acetic acid crystals just cooler than room temperature at 16.7 °C, which ice. Removing the water from acetic acid lowers its melting point by 0.2 °C.

Question 72 Marks
(a) Draw the structural formula of ethene.
(b) What is the feature of the ethene structure, which allows ethene to react with chlorine in the way it does?
Answer
(a) Structural formula of ethene:
$\begin{array}{cc}
\phantom{.......}\ce{H}\phantom{...}\ce{H}\phantom{........}\\
\phantom{...}\text{\\}\phantom{...} \phantom{.}\text{/}\phantom{....}\\
\ce{C = C}\\
\phantom{....}\text{/}\phantom{...}\phantom{.}\text{\\}\phantom{....}\\
\phantom{........}\ce{H}\phantom{...}\ce{H}\phantom{........}\\
\end{array}$
(b) Ethene can react with chlorine because there is presence of double bond which can result in the addition reaction.

Question 82 Marks
State what do you observe ethene is bubbled through a solution of bromine in terachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride)
Answer
When ethene is bubbled through a solution of bromine in tetrachloromethane, the orange colour of bromine disappears due to the formation of colourless ethylene bromide.
$
CH _2= CH _2+ Br \longrightarrow CH _2 Br - Ch _2 Br
