The information below is regarding alkene Y:
        Carbon 85.7%
        Hydrogen 14.3%
        Relative molecular mass = 42
        Relative atomic mass of H = 1 and C = 12

Based on the information of the alkene Y:
(i)   Determine the molecular formula
(ii)  Draw the structural formula
(iii) Name the alkene
(iv) Write the general formula for its homologous series.
(i)   Table 2.2 shows the results of a test to differentiate between alkene Y and propane.   [8 marks]
                          Procedure                                    Observation
          Bromine water is added to alkene Y             Brown colour is decolourized
          Bromine water is added to propane              Brown colour remains
                                                   Table 2.2

        Explain why there is difference in these observations.                               [4 marks]

ANSWER
        (i)
                Element                      Carbon                      Hydrogen
                Number of moles              85.7                        14.3
                                              12 = 7.083                  1 = 14.1
                Simplest ratio                                    7.083 14.1
                                                                       :
                                                                  7.083 7.083

                                                                      1:2

               Empirical formula = CH2

               Molecular formula of alkene Y : (CH2)n
               Given relative molecular mass = 42

               Hence 12n + 2n = 42
               14n = 42
               n=3
                molecular formula of alkene Y is C3H6

        (ii)



        (iii) Propene
        (iv) CnH2n

        (i)    1. Alkene Y is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a carbon-carbon double bond.
               2. When bromine water is added to alkene Y, brown colour is decolourised because
                  addition reaction (or bromination ) occurs.
               3. Propane is a saturated hydrocarbon with carbon – carbon single bond.
               4. No reaction occurs when bromine is added.
