De-colourised bromine water
De-colourised bromine water. When an alkene is added to a solution of bromine water the solution is de-colourised. Alkenes are hydrocarbons that contain a carbon-carbon double bond. The number of hydrogen atoms in an alkene is double the number of carbon atoms. Alkenes can de-colourise bromine water, while alkanes cannot.
