To Distinguish between Saturated and Unsaturated Hydrocarbon
Introduction : This practical is to distinguishing saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons using bromine test. Saturated Hydrocarbons are compounds which are linked together by single bonds. In contradictory, unsaturated hydrocarbons are compounds that have at least one carbon-carbon double bond or triple bond in the molecule. https://revisionscience.com/sites/revisionworld.com/files/imce/hydrocarbons.jpg
Hypothesis : Unsaturated hydrocarbon will decolourise brown bromine water without the presence of sunlight while saturated hydrocarbon will decolourise brown bromine water with the aid of sunlight.
Variables :
• Constant variables : Volume of bromine water
• Manipulated variables : Types of alkanes and alkenes
•

The leftovers are placed in a waste bottle provided and disposed off correctly. Naked flames should be nowhere near the flammable carbon compounds. All bottles should be closed after used.
Method : 1) A small amount (about one cm height) of the hydrocarbon is placed in a test tube. 2) A several drops of bromine water was added from a dropper bottle to the test tube and the test tube was shaken well. 3) The observation was recorded. 4) The above procedures were repeated using all the other hydrocarbons provided and the observations were recorded in a table. 5) The leftover liquids were placed in the waste bottle provided when the experiment was finished. The working area was also kept clean from
5. Two or more samples may be applied to each plate if they are kept

We used the pipette filler and filled the glucose rinsed pipette to add 10ml of 10% of glucose in test tube 0.
For the first biuret test, approximately 10 drops of water were added to the test tube. After the water was inside of the test tube, 10 drops of 5M NaOH and 5 drops of the Biuret reagent solution was added. The test tube was then gently rolled by a member of the group to mix the solution and everyone recorded the color of the solution. The same procedure was followed to test for starch, protein, sugar, lipid, and the unknown, but instead of the initial 10 drops of water, a sample of the variable being tested was placed in the test tube.
Experimental: The experimental procedure outlined in the OU Physical Chemistry Laboratory Manual was followed without any deviations.
There are four different types of hydrocarbons each having a different homologous series (formula for carbon chain). These being an alkane (formula = CnH2n+2), alkene (formula = CnH2n), alkyne (formula = CnH2n-2), and an alkanol which has the same formulae as an alkane only that is has a hydroxide molecule which replaces one of the hydrogen atoms (refer to figure 3 and
6. Place the test tube in the beaker. Secure the test tube and thermometer to the retort stand using clamps. Begin heating the water bath gently.
I prepared two large test tubes, each should have an inch of KOH pellets on the bottom of the tube. Next, a cotton ball is placed in each of the two test tubes above the KOH to plug the tube. Now one tube is filled to the top with peas, the peas are then removed and weighed to the nearest.1 grams, this is the experimental tube. The control tube is filled with plastic balls to the same height as the experimental tube. Next, a rubber stopper with attached capillary tubing is inserted in each test tube.
* It was almost impossible to tell when the Alka-Seltzer tablet had dissolved, each time the experiment was done. This was a huge problem for the experiment as this could have totally caused problems to the experiment. A special type of detector apparatus, which bleeped when the correct amount of Alka-Seltzer tablet dissolved, could improve this, each time the experiment was done.
Fill another test tube with 200 mL of plain water and label it Negative Control.
As the laboratory generates waste, it is accumulated following the procedures list in this document.

2. In the large beaker, put water and boil it completely. After that, remove the beaker from heat. 3. Sample tubes (A-D) should be labeled and capped tightly.
