What is beayers test?
Baeyer's test is a test for multiple bonds within a compound; it is a test of unsaturation.
What is the test used to determine the degree of unsaturation?
number of rings
Does ethyne decolourize KMnO4 solution?
Yes it does. This is a general test for unsaturation.
What is Baeyer test?
baeyers test is test for unsaturation gives MnO2 brown ppt withe -enesand -ynes
What does the baeyers test indicate?
It tests for unsaturation. If the substance being tested is saturated, it will not be reactive; but if it is unsaturated there will be a reaction.
What makes an alkene not an alkane?
unsaturation
Why the colour of bromine fades when carrying unsaturation test?
Some of the bromine is consumed by forming dibromides from the unsaturated compounds tested. The dibromides do not usually have color, as bromine molecules do.
Is bromine water good for testing for unsaturation?
yes it is
Do 1-methyl-1-cyclohexene and methylenecyclohexane differ from each other using any of the tests for unsaturation?
NO because tests for unsaturation only tell if the molecules have unsaturate bonds or not
What describes a fatty acid that has one point of unsaturation?
Monounsaturated
What is a fatty acid with two or more points of unsaturation?
A fatty acid with two or more points of unsaturation is a polyunsaturated fat. Unsaturated fatty acids are typically found in vegetable sources.
