Question:

Give a test that can be used to differentiate between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons

When butter is heated and some
bromine water is added to it, its
colour does not fade. This shows that
butter is a saturated compound.
When some bromine water is added to
edible oil, after a short time the colour of
the bromine water becomes colourless.
This suggests that the edible oil is
an unsaturated compound.
