Cooking oils are unsaturated triglycerides so Bromine add up on pi bonds,
R-CH=CH-(CH2)n-COOR + Br2 = R-CH(Br)-CH(Br)-(CH2)n-COOR , the confirmation of reaction is the decolourisation of Bromine.
there can be two explanation: 1. cooking oil is unsaturated while butter is saturated so buter can not be hydrogenated but cooking oil can be. 2. as we know that brown colour of bromine disappears when a drop of bromine is added to unsaturated compound whereas there is no reaction between saturated hydrocarbons.
When 1 drop of bromine is added to vegetable oil, a chemical reaction occurs where the bromine reacts with the unsaturated fats in the oil. This reaction causes the bromine to decolorize, turning from reddish-brown to colorless. This change is a test for the presence of unsaturated fats in the vegetable oil.
When bromine water is added to oil, if the oil contains unsaturated bonds, the reddish-brown color of the bromine water will be reduced as the bromine molecules add across the double bonds in a chemical reaction called bromination. This reaction is used to test for the presence of unsaturation in organic compounds like alkenes or alkynes.
Yes, saturated oils like coconut oil or palm oil will decolourize bromine because the double bonds in unsaturated oils are required for the bromine addition reaction that causes discolouration. Saturated oils lack these double bonds, so they will not react with bromine in the same way.
The bromine water turns from orange to colourless, as it is breaking the double bonds. When the oil becomes saturated, any more bromine water that is added will not turn colourless.
Yes, it is a chemical reaction.
Rapeseed oil contains unsaturated fatty acids that react with bromine to form colorless products, causing the bromine water to turn clear. This reaction is known as a bromine test, which is used to detect the presence of unsaturation in organic compounds.
The balanced equation for the reaction of castor oil (triglyceride) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is: Triglyceride + 3NaOH → Glycerol + 3Soap This reaction is known as saponification, which produces glycerol and soap molecules from the reaction between the ester bonds in the triglyceride and the hydroxide ions in sodium hydroxide.

As it causes a colourless reaction when you add both the bromine water and the oil you're testing for unsaturation. you can also use iodine water - it'll do exactly the same thing; BE CAREFUL though as both solutions are very hazardous. hope this helped!
Yes, cooking oil is made out of oil.
