Methane and bromine cannot react without the presence of sunlight or U.V light because of lack of energy which is usually supplied by the U.V light to break the bromine molecules to free radicals for the reaction to occur.

What is the equation of methane with bromine in the absence of sunlight?

In the absence of sunlight, methane (CH4) will react with bromine (Br2) to form bromomethane (CH3Br) and hydrogen bromide (HBr) as products. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is CH4 + Br2 -> CH3Br + HBr.


What decolorises bromine in the absence of sunlight?

Organic compounds called Alkenes turns Bromine to colourless from orange-ish without sunlight as a catalyst. Alkanes however require sunlight to react.

Is bromine react able with air?

Bromine does not react with air because it is not possible. It is a non reactant element.


What are two tests distinguish between ethanol and phenol?

The ferric chloride test: Ethanol does not react with ferric chloride, while phenol forms a purple color when mixed with ferric chloride. The bromine water test: Ethanol does not react with bromine water, while phenol decolorizes bromine water due to its reducing properties.


Will bromine react with sodium?

Yes, bromine will react with sodium. When bromine comes in contact with sodium, they will react to form sodium bromide, a white solid compound. This reaction is a redox reaction where bromine gets reduced and sodium gets oxidized.


Does Bromine react with water?

no


Why pentene does not react with bromine at room temperature?

Pentene does not react with bromine at room temperature because it requires an initiation step, typically heat or light, to start the reaction. Without this activation energy, the carbon-carbon double bond in pentene remains stable and unreactive towards bromine.


Does silver react with bromine?

Yes, silver does react with bromine. Silver becomes oxidized in the presents of bromine gas, that's why silver jewelry tarnishes.


Does hexane and bromine water and sodium hydroxide solution react?

If this is supposed to be an alkene test, then no, hexane will not react with bromine water to take away its color as it is an alkane and therefore contains no double bonds. But bromine water will react with sodium hydroxide; bromine water contains either HCl or H2SO4, both of which will of course react with sodium hydroxide. In addition, I believe (from some experiments like this that I've done recently) that sodium hydroxide will actually react with the free bromine in the bromine water, as evidenced by the change in color from the orange-ish color of bromine water to a pale yellow.
