Chemical Properties of Carbon Compounds

Combustion Reaction: Carbon and carbon compounds gives carbon dioxide, vapor, heat and light on burning in air. Following are some of the examples of combustion reaction of organic compounds:

C + O2 ⇨ CO2 + Heat + Light

CH4 + 2O2 ⇨ CO2 + 2H2O + Heat + Light

CH3C2OH + O2 ⇨ CO2 + H2O + Heat + Light

Oxidation:

In combustion reaction, carbon compounds are oxidized in the presence of oxygen. The following example is different because alkaline KMnO4 is the oxidizing agent in this reaction.

CH3CH2OH + (Alkaline KMnO4/Acidified K2Cr2O7) ⇨ CH3COOH

Addition Reaction:

Formation of larger molecules by addition of more radicals is known as addition reaction. For example; ethene is converted into ethane when heated with the catalyst nickel.

CH2=CH2 + H2 + (Nickel catalyst) ⇨ CH3−CH3

When ethene undergoes addition reaction with chlorine, it gives dichloroethane.


Substitution Reaction:

Replacement of a functional group or any atom by another atom or functional group is known as substitution reaction. Substitution reactions are single displacement reactions.

When methane reacts with chlorine gas in the presence of sunlight, it gives chloromethane and hydrogen chloride.

CH4 + Cl2 + Sunlight ⇨ CH3Cl + HCl

Similarly, ethane gives chloroethane when it reacts with chlorine in the presence of sunlight.

C2H6 + Cl2 + Sunlight ⇨ C2H5Cl + HCl

Some Important Organic Compounds

Ethanol (C2H5OH)

Ethanol is commonly known as alcohol and spirit.General name of ethanol is ethyl alcohol.Ethanol is the main constituent of all alcoholic drinksEthanol is soluble in waterEthanol is a very good solventEthanol is used in manufacturing of medicines, such as tincture iodine, cough syrup, etc.Taking even small quantity of pure ethanol may prove lethalTaking dilute ethyl alcohol can cause drunkenness

Reaction of ethanol with sodium metal:

When ethanol reacts with sodium, it gives sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas.

2CH3CH2OH + 2Na ⇨ 2CH3CH2ONa + H2

Oxidation of ethanol: Ethanol gives ethanoic acid on oxidation.

CH3CH2OH + (Alkaline KMnO4/Acidified K2Cr2O7) ⇨ CH3COOH

Dehydration of ethanol: Ethanol gives ethene and water when it is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid.

CH3CH2OH + Conc. H2SO4 ⇨ CH2=CH2 + H2O

Ethanoic Acid (CH3COOH)

Structural formula of ethanoic acid is as follows:

General name of ethanoic acid is acetic acid.Melting point of ethanoic acid is 290K.Ethanoic acid freezes in winter and hence it is also known as glacial acetic acid.Ethanoic acid is a colorless liquid.5% to 8% solution of acetic acid in water is known as vinegar.Vinegar is used as preservative in pickles.Carboxylic acids are weak acid compared to mineral acids.

Reaction of ethanoic acid with base: Ethanoic acid gives sodium acetate when it reacts with sodium hydroxide.

CH3COOH + NaOH ⇨ CH3COONa + H2O

Esterificaiton of ethanoic acid: Ethanoic acid gives ethyl acetate when it reacts with ethanol in presence of conc. sulphuric acid. This reaction is called esterification reaction.

CH3COOH + C2H5OH ⇨ CH3COOC2H5 + H2O

The IUPAC name of Ethyl acetate is Ethyl Ethanoate. Ethyl acetate is also known as ester. Ester is a sweet smelling compound. It is used in making perfumes and as a flavouring agent. When ethyl ethanoate reacts with a base or acid, it gives back ethanol and ethanoic acid.

CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH ⇨ CH3COOH + C2H5OH

This reaction is called saponification, since it is used in making of soap.

Hydrolysis of ester (Ethyl ethanoate): Ethyl ethanoate gives parent alcohol and sodium ethanoate when heated with sodium hydroxide solution.

CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH ⇨ CH3COONa + C2H5OH

Saponification: Ester of higher fatty acids gives sodium salt of higher fatty acid; when heated with glycerol and sodium hydroxide. Sodium salts of higher fatty acid are known as soaps. This reaction is called saponification (soap making).

Reaction of ethanoic acid with sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate:

Ethanoic acid gives sodium acetate, water and carbon dioxide when reacts with sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen carbonate).

2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 ⇨ 2CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ⇨ CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O
