When ethanol vapour is passed through bromine water, why does no change occur? |
| Answer» SENCE of the double bond in alkenes makes them more reactive than alkanes. An alkene will turn brown bromine WATER COLOURLESS as the bromine reacts with the carbon-carbon double bond. In fact this reaction will occur for UNSATURATED compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds. | |
