These compounds may be distinguish very easily hexene is an unsaturated compound and undergoes addition reactions with Bromine water(Red) and aqueous solution of KMnO4(Violet), the decolorization of these reagents confirm the presence of hexene while benzene is an aromatic compound and does not react with Br2 and KMnO4 solution.

Hexane has single bonds between the carbon atoms, whereas hexene has a double bond between two of its carbon atoms.

This is hexane.

This is hexene.

What happened with Hexane and hexene when it is combined with HCL and also NaOH?

There will be no reaction of Hexane as it does'nt have any reactive sites. Hexene will react only with Hcl as the double bond is nucleophilic to give poly chlorinated hexane. Hexene will not react with NaOH


Another test for hexane and hexene apart from bromine?

Testing, if you mean determining in your substance is hexane or hexene, could be to test the boiling point of each. Hexene's will be higher because of the double bond.


Is isobutene more soluble in water or hexane?

hexene


Does hexene conduct electricity?

Due to the fact that hexane is non polar, hexane does not conduct electricity.


Is heptane the same as hexane?

Hexane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14. n-hexane is the unbranched isomer of hexane as there exists four more branched isomers of hexane


Decide if hexane C6H14 is likely to be soluble in water?

No, hexane is not soluble in water, hot or cold.


How do you convert n hexane into benzene?

by removing 2 hydrogen atoms from C6H14(Hexane) to convert it into C6H12(Hexene;commonly called Bezene).


What is the equation between hexane and potassium permanganate?

Potassium permanganate and hexane do not react because hexane is an alkane and therefore has no double bonds. Hexene on the other hand is an alkene and can indeed react with potassium permanganate.


What is the reaction of 3-hexene and Br2?

3-Hexene is an alkene reactant that can either be trans or cis. Br2 is a ragent and stands for Bromine. In order to know the reaction between 3-hexene and Br2 we have to know whether it is trans-3-hexene or cis-3-hexene.


What is the difference between 2-hexene and 3-hexene?

The position of double bond is different. CH3-CH=CH-CH2-CH2-CH3 is 2-hexene CH3-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-CH3 is 3-hexene


What is difference between hexane and n-hexane?

Hexane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14. n-hexane is the unbranched isomer of hexane as there exists four more branched isomers of hexane


Do Saturated hydrocarbons Contain only single bond?

Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single bonds, such as hexane. Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain either double or triple bonds, such as hexene and hexyne.
