1) Bromination: add a drop or two of dilute bromine (Br2) to the sample, if the brown color disappears, it is an alkene, and...
2) Baeyer's Test: add a drop or two of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to the sample, if the purple color disappears, it is an alkene.
hope that helped! :)

∙ 12y agoThere are 2 types of butene, but both differ from butane by having ONE double C=C bond (and two single bC-C bonds) in stead of only three single bonds as in butane.
The difference in the 2 butene types is on where the double bond is located. The number in front of the butene-name means what carbon number of the chain the double bond starts on. In 1-butene it is in between the 1 and 2 carbons and in 2-butene it is located between the 2 and 3 carbons on the butane chain.
Butane: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3
1-Butene: CH2=CH-CH2-CH3
2-Butene: CH3-CH=CH-CH3

What is the product from dehydrogenation butane?
Butene
Does butane have more or less H atoms than butene?
More - alkanes in general have more Hs than alkenes An alkane has general formula CNH2N+2 and alkene is CNH2N
What is the product of the chemical reaction of 2-butene and HCI?
Only one product is 2-chloro butane.
Why doesn't butane has isomers?
The name butane is applied by IUPAC to the unbranched form of B4H10.However many chemists use the name butane to refer to both isomers ofB4H10 , n-butane the unbranched form and iso-butane the branched form.
Isomerism of n butane and iso butane?
These isomers have different molecular structures.
What is the product from dehydrogenation butane?
Butene
How many chain isomers are there in butane?
Butane has 2 isomers:CH3CH2CH2CH3 - butaneCH3CH(CH3)CH3 - 2-methylpropane (or isobutane)
Is C4H8 called butane?
Well its actually called cyclobutane. Erm, it's actually called butene - with an e
What molecule is butene?
It is a hydrocarbon with the formula, C4H10
Does butane have more or less H atoms than butene?
More - alkanes in general have more Hs than alkenes An alkane has general formula CNH2N+2 and alkene is CNH2N
What is the product of the chemical reaction of 2-butene and HCI?
Only one product is 2-chloro butane.
Why the structure of butane and methyl butane are different?
It differs on where the double bond is located. The number in front of the butene means what carbon number of the chain the double bond starts on. In 2 methyl 1 butene it is in between the 1 and 2 carbons and in 2 methyl 2 butene it is located between the 2 and 3 carbons on the butane chain.
Is butane saturated or unsaturated?
No. All saturated hydrocarbons end in the suffix -ane
Why doesn't butane has isomers?
The name butane is applied by IUPAC to the unbranched form of B4H10.However many chemists use the name butane to refer to both isomers ofB4H10 , n-butane the unbranched form and iso-butane the branched form.
Why 2-butene show geometric isomerism while 1-butene does not?
2-butene show geomatric isomerism because each double bond carbon atom has two different group
Why is cis-2-butene less stable than trans-2-butene?
Steric hindrance between the two methyl groups.
How many non cyclic isomers are there for Butane?
There are two structural isomers approved by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) 1.) n-butane (normal butane) is a straight chain 2.) iso-butane (or methyl-propane) is a chain of three with one carbon attached to the middle of the chain
