Chapter 8.SE, Problem 66AP
Interpretation Introduction

a) Cyclopentene and cyclopentane

Interpretation:

A simple chemical test to distinguish between cyclopentene and cyclopentane is to be given. How to perform the test and observations made in the test are also to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Alkenes decolorize bromine as they react with it to yield dibromoderivatives. Alkanes will not decolorize bromine as they do not react with bromine.

To give:

A simple chemical test to distinguish between cyclopentene and cyclopentane. Further to state how to perform the test and to explain the observations.

Interpretation Introduction

b) 2-Hexene and benzene

Interpretation:

A simple chemical test to distinguish between 2-hexene and benzene is to be given. How to perform the test and observations made in the test are also to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Alkenes decolorize bromine as they react with bromine to give dibromoderivatives. Aromatic compounds will not decolorize bromine water as they do not react with bromine under normal conditions.

To give:

A simple chemical test to distinguish between 2-hexene and benzene. Further to state how to perform the test and to explain the observations.
