Question
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain multiple bonds between the two C-atoms and show addition reactions. Give the test to distinguish ethane from ethene.
✓
Answer
Distinction between ethane and ethene can be done with the help of bromine water test. Whereas ethene dicolourises the yellow colour of bromine water, ethane does not.
