CHM 270L Study Guide - Waste Container, Purified Water, Food Coloring
Document Summary
Our learning objectives for this experiment are to examine hydrocarbon categorization for saturated, unsaturated, and aromatics. Based on precise testing with various home items, we will determine their structural information. The solubility characteristics of saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic hydrocarbons will be classified and described. We shall look into the flammability of saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Shake the contents of the tube well to see if they mix. It may be hard to see the two layers so look carefully. Because hydrocarbons are composed of carbons and hydrogens, it is beneficial to be familiar with the many tests performed to determine whether these hydrocarbons are saturated or unsaturated. Bromine can be used to test for unsaturation; in this case, iodine was utilized. When bromine is introduced for alkenes and alkynes, the color fades and returns to clear, as does the iodine test. The solution will revert to clear after using iodine.
