How can bromine water test the difference between alkanes and alkenes?

Bromine water can differentiate between alkanes and alkenes because alkenes can decolourize bromine water due to their ability to undergo addition reactions. Alkanes, being saturated hydrocarbons, do not react with bromine water because they lack double bonds to facilitate the addition reaction.

Are alkenes named the same way alkanes are named?

They are. The only difference in name is that alkanes ends with -ane, alkenes end with -ene. Also, the alkane with the least carbon is methane (CH4) but the alkene with the least carbon is ethene (C2H4).

Why the remaining mixture of alkanes and alkenes have to discard into water for reaction with sulphuric acid?

The remaining mixture of alkanes and alkenes is discarded into water to separate the alkenes from the alkanes because alkenes are soluble in sulfuric acid and can undergo electrophilic addition reactions, while alkanes do not react with sulfuric acid. Water helps to extract the alkenes, allowing for a clearer separation of the components. Furthermore, this process minimizes the risk of unwanted reactions and ensures that only the reactive alkenes interact with sulfuric acid.
