Saturated Or Unsaturated
The chemical tests that can be conducted in order to determine whether two substances are unsaturated or saturated is to process the two through a completed combustion reaction to identify which substance releases more energy – saturated released more than unsaturated. The second test would be to mix both substances with bromine water in separate test tubes, if the bromine reacts with either one or both, decolorizing bromine water, then the substance is unsaturated. Saturated substances do not readily react, their molecules are well stabilized with carbon to carbon single bonds as well as many hydrogen bonds whereas unsaturated substances are made of molecules which contains double and even triple bonds, with less hydrogen bonds. Therefore,
