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 are mild oxidizing agents?
those reagents which oxidize even very reactive compounds having weaker bond are called mild oxidising agents
What are the Chemical equations to distinguish between alkane and alkene?
Alkenes have a double bond between the carbon atoms (C=C) whereas alkanes have a single bond (C-C). so alkenes are unsaturated compounds, add aqueous solution of Bromine or KMnO4 to both the compounds the decolourization of these reagents confirms the presence of alkenes.
What is the balanced molecular equation for Na2S and KI?
The formations of these compounds from elements are as follows. 2 Na + S --> Na2S 2K + I2 --> 2KI These two reagents do not react with each other.
Can chemicals and reagents go bad?
Yes only some... It depends
Why are Grignard reagents synthesized in an ether medium?
Grignard reagents are stable in ether medium. Ether generally forms an adduct with Grignard reagents. In addition, if solvents containing acidic hydrogens are present, Grignard reagents are decomposed to the corresponding hydrocarbon.
What do you mean by reagents in chemistry?
Chemical compounds used in laboratory are frequently called reagents.
What does biosynthetic mean?
chemical compounds are produced from simpler reagents

What are oxidating agents?
those reagents which oxidize even very reactive compounds having weaker bond are called mild oxidising agents
What compounds are made in dehydration reaction?
triacylglycerides, polysaccharides, and proteins
How could you find out if a substance is saturated or unsaturated?
saturated hydrocarbon - these carry as many hydrogen atoms possible . These are called alkanes general formula = CnH2n+2 H H H H H H H-C-C-C-C-C-C-H H H H H H H unsatuarated hydrocarbons - these dont carry as many hydrogen atoms as possible. these are calles alkenes. general formula = CnH2n H H H H H H C-C-C-C-C-C H H H H H H if you dont understand look on BBC bitesize GCSE chemistry.
Why is it necessary to conduct all the test on absolutely pure compounds?
The impurites possibly contained in any test reagents will lead to impure test results.

Which compounds are used as the oxidizing and reducing reagents in Ryobi batteries?
Oxidizing agents for Ryobi batteries include potassium nitrate, halogens and nitric acid. Reducing agents include sulfite compounds, earth metals and formic acid.
