What is different between alkanes and alkenes?
The difference between an alkane and an alkene is that: Alkanes have only single bonds between carbon atoms and are said to be saturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water stays orange - formula: CnH2n+2; Alkenes: have one or more double bond(s) between carbon atoms and are unsaturated: when put in bromine water, the bromine water turns clear - formula: CnH2n.
How is isopropyl alcohol made?
Isopropyl alcohol is made from propene and water.
What does bromine water test for?
bromine water can be used to test whether the compund is saturated or unsaturated.
What simple chemical test maybe used to differentiate an alkene from alkane?
A simple test can be done to differentiate an alkene from an alkane using bromine water which has an orange/brown color. Adding alkanes to dilute bromine water will not result in a change of color, adding aklenes will cause the water to go clear.
What is orange water?
water is 0% orange, but the % of water in an orange is 52.7652%
What happens if ethene is shaken with bromine water?
The solution will turn the orange bromine water into a colourless solution
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 would you see when ethene is shaken with bromine water?
a colourless solution
What is seen when bromine water is shaken with an saturated fat?
it turns to bacon :)
What is seen when bromine water is shaken with an unsaturated fat?
i think the unsaturated fat decolourises it :/
Does ethene change from orange to colourless when it reacts with bromine water?
The ethene doesnt change from orange to colourless as ethene is already colourless but the bromine water turns from orange to colourless.
Is propene soluble in water?
Propene is not soluble in water.
Does ethane turn bromine water from orange to colourless?
Yes, bromine water tests for double bonds and if they are present (like in an alkane such as ethane) it will change from orange/yellow to colourless.
What happens when bromine water is shaken with a saturated fat?
i don't think that any change occurs, it remains the same
What happens to vegetable oil when bromine water is added?
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.
What is observed when bromine water is added to ethene?
The ethene reacts with the bromine and the solution turns colourless (from its original orange colour).
What happens when ethene is mixed with bromine water?
it goes from a browny orange to colourless
