No, unsaturated oils and fats (sunflower oil, olive oil) decolourise when reacted with bromine


When benzene reacts with bromine water will it decolourise bromine water or not?

No!! Benzene wont de colourise bromine water although it is an unsaturated compound ,as it is an aromatic compound and it does not undergo addition reaction.


What is the different between saturated and unsaturated?

Saturated hydrocarbon does not decolourise bromine water while unsaturated hydrocarbon decolourize it.

What is the observation between bromine and propene?

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.


What simple chemical test will distinguish an alkane from others?

Use bromine water (Br2) or acidified permanganate (H+/MnO4-) With permanganate: add the permanganate to the alkane and no reaction will occur, add the permanganate to the alkene and you will form a diol the solution will also turn from purple to colourless. With bromine water: add the bromine water to the alkane (plus you need sunlight) and you get a substitution reaction, this is a slow reaction. Add the bromine water to the alkene and you get an immediate addition reaction (this one does not need sunlight). When bromine water reacts with an alkene it is decolourised, the reddish brown bromine water turns from brown to colourless. This is because alkenes are unsaturated and contain a carbon to carbon double bond. If you did the bromine water test in a dark place say a cupboard then the alkene would decolourise but the alkane wouldn't because it needs UV/sunlight in order to react. in practice the cupboard is not necessary as the speed of decolourisation is so much faster with the alkene.

Do Alkene decolourise bromine water?

Benzene will not decolourise bromine water as it does not undergo addition reaction. It is highly saturated due to presence electron cloud above and below it.
