Question
Assume you have two unlabeled bottles, one with cyclohexene and one with benzene. How could you tell them apart by carrying out chemical reactions?
Step 1
Ensure that you have appropriate safety equipment, such as gloves and goggles, as both cyclohexene and benzene are hazardous chemicals. Show more…

Assume that you have two unlabeled bottles, one with cyclohexane and one with cyclohexene. How could you tell them apart by carrying out chemical reactions?
Suppose you have unlabeled bottles of benzene and cyclohexene. What chemical reaction could you use to tell which bottle contains which chemical? Explain what you would do, what you would expect to see, and how you would explain your observations. Write an equation for a positive test.
You are given two bottles, each containing a colorless liquid. You are told that one liquid is cyclohexane and the other is benzene. Suggest one chemical test that would allow you to distinguish between these two liauids.
