It's because, bromine water, being a good oxidising agent oxidises SO2 to H2SO4.
All alkenes decolourise bromine water.
Benzene will not decolourise bromine water as it does not undergo addition reaction. It is highly saturated due to presence electron cloud above and below it.

it cant decolourise
No, unsaturated oils and fats (sunflower oil, olive oil) decolourise when reacted with bromine

The alkyne reacts with bromine removing it from the aqueous solution.

Yes they do that. They are reacting together.
Actually no...ethane ( Alkane class in general ) decolourise bromine water due to the absence of the double bond ( C=C )...so ethene (alkenes in general ) will decolourise the bromine water..
it cant decolourise
Test both in bromine water. The unsaturated alkene will decolourise the bromine water.
No, unsaturated oils and fats (sunflower oil, olive oil) decolourise when reacted with bromine
Yes, just like the open chain alkenes.
No!! Benzene wont de colourise bromine water although it is an unsaturated compound ,as it is an aromatic compound and it does not undergo addition reaction.
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.
