Why the unsaturated compound decolourises with bromine?
bromine water is oxidising in nature. it removes the double bonds and attaches itself to the alkene.
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
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 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.
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.
What is seen when bromine water is shaken with an unsaturated fat?
i think the unsaturated fat decolourises it :/

Simple distinguished test between saturated and unsaturated compounds?
add bromine water. unsaturated compounds will decolourize bromine water

Why ethanol cannot react with bromine water?
The unsaturated compounds having double or triple bonds under go the addition reactions with Bromine water, ethanol does not have the double or triple bonds

What compound decolourizes bromine water?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes and alkynes will decolourize bromine water.
What does bromine water test for?
bromine water can be used to test whether the compund is saturated or unsaturated.
How do you know unsaturated fat is in vegetable oil?
An unsaturated oil will decolorize bromine water.
What is the different between saturated and unsaturated?
Saturated hydrocarbon does not decolourise bromine water while unsaturated hydrocarbon decolourize it.
