Testing
To test whether the hydrocarbon is unsaturated you should use the Bromine test. To carry out the Bromine test you should add bromine water. If the bromine water becomes decolourised (Goes colorless) then it is unsaturated. Mix water with saturated hydrocarbon as well as unsaturated hydrocarbon. Add some common salt to it. Unsaturated hydrocarbon with water makes salt dissolve and vice versa with saturated hydrocarbon.

Famous quotes containing the word testing:
“Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best 20-20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go.”
—Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
