What compound decolourizes bromine water?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes and alkynes will decolourize bromine water.
What test is used to show that ethene is unsaturated?
by adding bromine water to the compound. if it is unsaturated, the red colour of the bromine water will fade quickly. if it is saturated, then it will not fade.
How can a potassium permanganate test to distinguish saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?
saturated decolourises alkyl kmno4 but unsaturated does not. due to substituition reaction by saturated solution
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 can you see when bromine water is added to an unsaturated organic compound?
It would turn colourless.
What is seen when bromine water is shaken with an unsaturated fat?
i think the unsaturated fat decolourises it :/

What happens when bromine water is added to ethanol?
It will turn colorless because bromine is an unsaturated compound and unsaturated compound have double bonds

What are the reagents used distingush saturated and unsaturated organic compounds?
Basically there are many tests which is usually practiced to distinguish saturated Organic compounds from the unsaturated ones. But two of them are the most common: 1. Bromine water test. 2. Bayer's test. Basically Bromine water is red in color, so when an unsaturated compound (Alkene or Alkyne) is treated with it. The Bromine water get decolourized, on the other side the color is not changed when treated with saturated compound. In the Bayer's test KMnO4 solution is used, the unsaturated compound vanish its pink color while the saturated compounds do not.
What kind of reaction takes place when butene decolourises bromine solution?
an addition reaction takes place when butene decoulourises bromine solution x
What is a unsaturated compound?
An unsaturated organic compound is one which has double or triple bonds in Carbon atoms. When all the bonds are single then the compound is called saturated. In unsaturated compounds the carbon atom will be in sp or sp2 hybridised state and in saturated compounds the carbon will be in sp3 hybridised state. Unsaturated compounds are identified by the reaction with bromine water which is pink in color. The pink color is lost due to addition of Bromine to the multiple bond. Aromatic compounds like benzene also contain double bonds but not considered as unsaturated. They do not give addition reactions under normal conditions.
Simple distinguished test between saturated and unsaturated compounds?
add bromine water. unsaturated compounds will decolourize bromine water
Is aniline an unsaturated compound or saturated compound?
unsaturated
