To prepare a bromine solution, you can dissolve bromine in a solvent such as water or acetic acid. It is important to handle the solution with caution due to the toxic and corrosive nature of bromine. Be sure to use appropriate protective equipment and follow proper safety protocols.
2 percent bromine solution typically has a reddish-brown color.

When ethene is passed through bromine solution in carbon tetrachloride, the initially red-brown color of the bromine solution decolorizes due to the addition of bromine across the carbon-carbon double bond in ethene, forming a colorless 1,2-dibromoethane product.
If ethene is shaken with bromine water, the orange color of bromine water will be decolorized due to the addition reaction of bromine to ethene. This reaction results in the formation of a colorless compound called 1,2-dibromoethane.
Bromine is a chemical element and a liquid at room temperature, so it can be a solution when dissolved in a solvent like water or organic solvents. It is commonly used as a reagent in chemical reactions and as a disinfectant.
Bromine is prepared by a method which comprises contacting hydrogen peroxide with an aqueous solution containing bromide ion and rapidly removing the bromine as it is formed. This method is particularly suitable for obtaining bromine from seawater, using the conventional intermediate, bromosulfuric solution.

Bromine water fades when testing for saturation because the bromine is decolorized by the unsaturated organic compounds present in the solution. This reaction occurs because the unsaturated compounds react with and break the bromine-bromine bond, causing the bromine solution to lose its color.
When ethene is passed through bromine solution in carbon tetrachloride, the initially red-brown color of the bromine solution decolorizes due to the addition of bromine across the carbon-carbon double bond in ethene, forming a colorless 1,2-dibromoethane product.

When bromine water is added to paraffin, no visible reaction occurs. Paraffin is a non-reactive hydrocarbon compound, so it does not undergo a chemical reaction with bromine. The bromine remains as a colored solution with no change in the paraffin.

Pentene is an unstaturdated hydrocarbon (One that does not have many possible side branches) It reacts readily with halogens to form new substances. In this case, bromine reacts with pentene in an addition reaction, this changes pentene into 1,1-dibromopentane. Thus, removing bromine from the solution, hence the distinct orange color is removed.
When butene decolourises bromine solution, it indicates that an addition reaction has occurred. The double bond in butene breaks, and the bromine molecules add across the two carbon atoms that were originally part of the double bond. This forms a colorless dibromide compound, causing the bromine solution to lose its characteristic orange color.
Bromine solution is added gradually to prevent a violent reaction due to the exothermic nature of the reaction between bromine and the target compound. Slow addition allows for better control and ensures safety.
