The ethene doesnt change from orange to colourless as ethene is already colourless but the bromine water turns from orange to colourless.
Yes, bromine water tests for double bonds and if they are present (like in an alkane such as ethane) it will change from orange/yellow to colourless.
alkenes turn bromine water colourless

It will turn colorless because bromine is an unsaturated compound and unsaturated compound have double bonds
it decolourizes it (turns from orange brown to colourless)
An alkane will react with the bromine test and become a clear/colourless liquid, while an aromatic hydrocarbon will not react with the bromine and remain a redish-orange tinged liquid.
There will be no colour change between the two, as chlorine is more electronegative than bromine and will maintain its negative charge, meaning that the bromine will not react and the orange colour persists.
It changes from brown to colorless. Br2 has a brown color before it reacts with the alkene, forming a dibromoalkane as the alkene opens up its double bond and bromine joins up with that bond. The Br-Br bond is broken, hence removing the brown color. In reality, the appearance of bromine water depends on its concentration.
it goes from a browny orange to colourless
The solution will turn the orange bromine water into a colourless solution
It will turn colorless because bromine is an unsaturated compound and unsaturated compound have double bonds
Acetylene will change colour from orange to colourless.
it decolourizes it (turns from orange brown to colourless)
The bromine water turns from orange to colourless, as it is breaking the double bonds. When the oil becomes saturated, any more bromine water that is added will not turn colourless.
it can be used to see if the hydrocarbon you have just cracked is an alkane or an alkene (it with turn orange to colourless if it is an alkene)
Organic compounds called Alkenes turns Bromine to colourless from orange-ish without sunlight as a catalyst. Alkanes however require sunlight to react.
Bromine water is a dilute solution of bromine that is normally orange-brown in colour, but becomes colourless when shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, while alkanes cannot.
An alkane will react with the bromine test and become a clear/colourless liquid, while an aromatic hydrocarbon will not react with the bromine and remain a redish-orange tinged liquid.
Baeyer's test for unsaturation using KMnO4 . if the sol'n retains the purple color of the reagent , then it is an alkane. if the color disappears with formation of brown precipitate ,it indicates presence of unsaturated HC
There will be no colour change between the two, as chlorine is more electronegative than bromine and will maintain its negative charge, meaning that the bromine will not react and the orange colour persists.
