Understand common Test to differentiate hydrocarbons. Click on the Link to Watch the VIDEO explanation: Watch Video


 Hydrocarbons are compounds of Hydrogen and Carbon. They may be unsaturated or saturated. A saturated hydrocarbon can be separated from a unsaturated one by using bromine dissolved in carbon tetrachloride, alkaline potassium permanganate and Ammoniacal cuprous chloride or by ignition test. You can perform these test yourself. Before you start performing the test you need to understand how to perform. Here is how. On the reagent rack there are three bottles labelled 1, 2 and 3 containing Bromine solution, alkaline potassium permanganate and ammoniacal cuprous chloride. These are the reagents that you need to testing the hydrocarbons. Here is a match box. You are provided with two sets of three gas jar each labelled A, B, and C which contain three types of hydrocarbons alkane, alkene and alkyne. Chose one reagent at a time. Drag and drop the reagent into all the three gas jars placed on left and observe the changes. Do the same with all the three reagents. Then click on the matchbox and drag the match stick into all the three gas jar placed on right. Observe the changes. key in your inference here.
