Question

Give a test to differentiate between saturated and
unsaturated hydrocarbon.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) saturated hydrocarbons contain single bond whereas unsaturated hydrocarbon contains double or triple Bond

2) saturated hydrocarbons generally give clean flame whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons when burnt give rise to sooty and clean flame.

3) saturated hydrocarbons are less reactive than unsaturated hydrocarbons as saturated hydrocarbons have more strong bonds

4) saturated hydrocarbons also called alkane whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons are called alkene or alkyne depending on their bond

5) saturated hydrocarbons react with non- polar solutions like carbon tetrachloride and give colourless solution whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons do not react with them
