If this is supposed to be an alkene test, then no, hexane will not react with bromine water to take away its color as it is an alkane and therefore contains no double bonds. But bromine water will react with sodium hydroxide; bromine water contains either HCl or H2SO4, both of which will of course react with sodium hydroxide. In addition, I believe (from some experiments like this that I've done recently) that sodium hydroxide will actually react with the free bromine in the bromine water, as evidenced by the change in color from the orange-ish color of bromine water to a pale yellow.

No, they would not form a solution.


What products would you get when you bubble chlorine gas through a sodium bromide solution?

You would get Sodium Chloride and Bromine. This is because Chlorine is a more reactive group 7, (halogen), element that bromine, we know this because it is above bromine in the periodic table group, it is therefore more electronegative. When the reaction occurs, the Chlorine displaces the Bromine and the solution turns brown.

No. Water and sodium hydroxide will form a solution, but no reaction occurs.


Does sodium hydroxide release protons when added to water?

No. Sodium hydroxide releases hydroxide ions, which actually take protons out of the solution. This qualifies sodium hydroxide as a base.
