Bromine water


Bromine Water is an aqueous solution of bromine commonly used as a reagent in organic chemistry. It is widely used to test for unsaturation in organic compounds, particularly alkenes, through a characteristic colour change.

Product Specifications

Bromine Water is a chemical solution consisting of bromine dissolved in water. It typically has an orange to yellow-brown appearance, depending on its concentration, and is commonly used in qualitative chemical analysis and organic chemistry experiments.

One of its principal laboratory applications is testing for unsaturation in organic compounds. When bromine water reacts with compounds containing carbon–carbon double bonds, such as alkenes, its characteristic colour may disappear as bromine is consumed in the reaction. This makes it useful for demonstrating chemical reactions and distinguishing certain unsaturated compounds from saturated compounds under suitable testing conditions.

Bromine Water is also used in educational chemistry practicals and selected laboratory investigations involving organic reactions and chemical identification. Its suitability for specific procedures depends on the formulation and concentration supplied.
