Product Code : SCL-CA-12635
Quick Answer: The Bromine Water Reagent Grade is an aqueous bromine solution used in supervised organic chemistry to test for carbon-carbon unsaturation, since many alkenes and alkynes discharge its reddish-brown colour.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Aqueous solution of bromine, Br2
- Reddish-brown to orange colour, discharged by many alkenes and alkynes
- Used to compare saturated and unsaturated organic compounds
- Supports lessons on addition reactions and functional groups
- High-hazard reagent needing ventilation, protective equipment and trained supervision
About This Product
A small authorised sample is placed in a clean test tube or spot plate well, and bromine water is added drop by drop as the method specifies. Students then see whether the colour stays or disappears, which distinguishes unsaturated compounds from saturated ones. Work is done in a fume hood with splash goggles and gloves; the reagent is never smelled, heated or returned to the bottle, and residues go to hazardous waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does it mean if bromine water loses its colour?
Decolourisation shows that the sample has reacted with the bromine, which happens with many alkenes and alkynes and indicates carbon-carbon unsaturation.
