    Reactivity of Alkanes and Alkenes

    Uploaded by

    BraydenCarroll
    This document summarizes an experiment comparing the reactivity of cyclohexane and cyclohexene using bromine water. The experiment involved adding cyclohexane and cyclohexene separately to bromine water and observing the color change. Cyclohexane caused the bromine water to turn orange, indicating a reaction, while cyclohexene did not cause a color change. The experiment showed that the alkene cyclohexene is less reactive than the alkane cyclohexane.
