Q8. What is hydrogenation? Write its industrial application.

Ans- The addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated hydro- carbon is called hydrogenation. This process takes place in the presence of nickel or palladium metal as catalyst.

i) it is used to prepare vegetable ghee from vegetable oil

ii) Vegetable oil such as ground nut, cottonseed oil are unsaturated and contain double bonds (C=C) On hydrogenation in the presence of catalyst , vegetable oil produces vanaspati ghee.                                                      

Q9.Give a test that can be used to differentiate between butter and cooking oil ?

Ans-If a carbon compound decolorises bromine water ,it will be an unsaturated compound . Thus we can distinguish between a cooking oil and butter. i) cooking oil decolorises bromine water, this shows that it is an unsaturated compound . ii) butter does not decolorise bromine water .This shows that it is a saturated compound .

Q10.Give the names of the functional group;- (i) –CHO (ii) -C=O ( iii) –OH (iv) –COOH

 Ans- (i) Aldehyde group (ii) Ketone group (iii) alcoholic (iv) carboxylic
