Worked Solution & Example Answer:Three test tubes were set up as shown - HSC - SSCE Chemistry - Question 7 - 2017 - Paper 1
Step 1
Which of the following best represents the changes in test tubes X and Y?
Answer
In this reaction, bromine water is added to test tubes X and Y. Test tube X contains a compound that can react with bromine, which leads to a color change. Since test tube Y contains a colorless hexene that can undergo bromination in the absence of UV light, it will also show a reaction. The product of the reaction in both tubes will be characterized by a color change, indicating the addition of bromine. Therefore, the correct representation of the changes in tubes X and Y is option C.
