Give the chemical test to distinguish between the saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon

Answer» A chemical test to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon.Bromine water test - Unsaturated hydrocarbon gives addition reaction with Br2. So the colour of Br2-water gets decolourized.R-C=C=R + Br2\xa0--> R-BrC-CBr-Rwhereas,Saturated hydrocarbons do not react with Br2-water so the colour of Br2\xa0-water does not get decolourised.
Can someone plz tell me about that bromine water test...I just got confused. ...
