A student has two compounds in two seperate bottles but with no labels on either one. One is an unbranched alkane, C8H18; the other is 1-hexane, and unbranched alkene, C6H12. What should you see in the following tests:
Octane 1-Hexane
A. Water Solubility
B. Ligroin Solubility
C. Combustion
D. Density vs water
E. Bromine Test
F. Permanganate Test
Qualitative tests for alkane (octane) and alkene (1-hexene)
For C8H18 (Octane)
1. water solubility : Insoluble
2. Ligroin solubility : Soluble
3. Combustion : burn with clean flame, complete combustion to CO2 and H2O
4. density vs water : Less denser than water
5. Bromine test : -ve test, no color change +ve test, decolorizes bromine
6. permanganate test : -ve test, no color change . +ve test

For C6H12 (1-Hexene)
1. water solubility : Insoluble
2. Ligroin solubility : Soluble
3. Combustion : burn with a sooty flame, incomplete combustion to CO and H2O
4. density vs water : Less denser than water
5. Bromine test : +ve test, decolorizes bromine
6. permanganate test : +ve test, purple to light pink
