Q

How do you test a sample for alkenes?

A

Mix the same liquid with bromine water in the absence of UV light. If it remains orange no addition reaction has occurred and therefore only alkanes are present. If it turns colourless, an addition reaction has occurred and therefore the sample contained some alkenes
