PART C. Experimental Procedure NS In this part of the experiment you will distinguish the major chemical reactivity between a saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon. The unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes, cycloalkenes) give addition reactions with bromine. However, saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes and aromatics) give substitution reaction with bromine in presence of a Freidel-Craft catalyst such as AlCl3. Substitution Reaction: CH4 + Br2 → CH3Br + HBr Addition Reaction: MATERIALS H C=C H H PROCEDURE H 1. Obtain three small test tubes. + Br-Br - In the addition reaction the orange red color of bromine will disappear which is a positive test for an unsaturated hydrocarbon. SAFETY HH 11 →H-C-C-H Organic compounds are highly flammable. Use only small quantities. They are toxic and can be absorbed through the skin.

In this part of the experiment you will distinguish the major chemical reactivity between a saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon. The unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes, cycloalkenes) give addition reactions with bromine, However, salurated hydrocarbons (alkanes and aromaties) give substitution reaction with bromine in presence of a Freidel-Cratt catalyst such as AICh. Substitution Reaction: Addition Reaction: In the addition reaction the orange red color of bromine will disappear which is a positive test for an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
