Which reagent can be used to distinguish between an alkyne and an alkene?
  • Step 1: Understand that alkenes and alkynes are types of hydrocarbons. Alkenes have a double bond, while alkynes have a triple bond.
  • Step 2: Know that bromine water is a reddish-brown solution used in chemical tests.
  • Step 3: Add bromine water to the sample you want to test (the alkyne or alkene).
