What is seen when bromine water is shaken with an unsaturated fat?
i think the unsaturated fat decolourises it :/
What happens when a bromine solution is added to an alkene?
alkenes will discolour bromine wateras the alkene reacts with it
An alkene can be combined with chlorine and bromine in a?
Alkene + Cl2 or Br2 --> Adducts (addition products) dichloor alkane, dibroom alkane
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.
Why does bromine water turn clear with alkene but not alkane?
Alkanes don't, ALKENEs do by chemically bonding with the Bromine across its double bond. Alkanes only turn Bromine water colourless in the presence of sunlight. This is due to a photo-chemical reaction in which free radicals are formed. This reaction may also be called a substitution reaction.
Why the unsaturated compound decolourises with bromine?
bromine water is oxidising in nature. it removes the double bonds and attaches itself to the alkene.
What simple chemical test will distinguish an alkene from an alkane?
Test both in bromine water. The unsaturated alkene will decolourise the bromine water.

Do Alkene decolourise bromine water?
Yes they do that. They are reacting together.
What test can you carry out to differentiate between two test tubes one containing propane and propene?
Propene is an alkene, whereas propane is an alkane. Thus, propene is an unsaturated molecule, having a carbon-carbon double bond. If you add bromine water, an aqueous solution of bromine, to the test tubes, you can tell which is propene, the alkene. The bromine reacts with and saturates the double bonds in alkenes, and so decolourises. The bromine does not decolourise when added to an alkane as it does not react. So, in conclusion:Add bromine water (brown) to the test tubesIf the bromine water stays brown, the test tube contains propaneIf the bromine water goes colourless, the test tube contained propene.

What color does bromine water go when it reacts with an alkene?
Firstly, there is a discharge of reddish brown colour due to bromine which then turns colourless.
What test is used to distinguish between ethene and methane?
Ethene is an unsaturated substance since it is alkene and has one double bond, we can use bromine water to test ethene. Yellow bromine water turns colourless if the substance is ethene. If it is methane which is alkane ( not alkene ), bromine will stay yellow.
What you would see when orange bromine water is shaken with propene?
Bromine water is a dilute solution of bromine that is normally orange-brown in colour, but becomes colourless when shaken with an alkene. Alkenes can decolourise bromine water, while alkanes cannot.
Which one of the following tests will best allow you to distinguish between an aldehyde and an alkene?
bromine water
What colour will the alkene turn bromine water?
Wow, great question... Shame I don't know the answer
What is the reagent to distinguish alkene and alkyne?
Bromine
