What are the reagents and conditions for the hydration of ethene?

• Cold Water and sulfuric acid

• Steam and phosphoric acid

• Nickel and hydrogen gas

• X₂ and RTP

When an alkane is added to bromine water it remains orange. Why?

• Bromine only reacts with saturated compounds

• Bromine only reacts with unsaturated compounds

How could the combustion of hexene and hexane be used to tell the two hydrocarbons apart?

• The hexane would burn for less time

• The hexene won't ignite as easily

• The hexene will burn less completely

• The hexane will undergo incomplete combustion.

What could be used as a reagent for the halogenation of an alkene?

• HX

• X₂

• H₂O

• NaX
