Question

One of the following organic compounds cannot decolourise the red-brown colour bromine water. This compound is
(a) C14H28
(b) C7H12
(c) C6H14
(d) C9H16

Answer 1

$C_{6} H_{14}$ (2-Methylpentane) is the organic compound which cannot decolourise the red-brown colour bromine water

Therefore Option C is the answer for the given question

Explanation:

Unsaturated hydrocarbons (cooking oil) discolor the reddish-brown color of bromine water, while saturated hydrocarbons cannot discolor.

 $C_{6} H_{14}$ (2-Methylpentane) is an alkane and their formula is shown as  

 $C_{n} H_{2 n+2}$. The alkanes are stable and in the nonexistence of catalysts, they can not decompose the red-brown bromine.
