Test:
,result with propane,
result with propene​

Answer 1

Hydrocarbons are compounds made out of only C and H atoms. Propane and propene are hydrocarbon compounds. These compounds are obtained from petroleum oil wells at petroleum oil processing plants. Both these compounds can be used as LP gas since they can be liquefied easily. Propane and propene are gases at room temperature due to the low boiling point. These are flammable compounds. The main difference between propane and propene is that propane is an alkane having only single bonds whereas propene is an alkene having a double bond apart from single bonds.

Answer 2

The test which we can use is Bromine Water test. This test is used to differentiate Saturated and Unsaturated hydrocarbons.
