The presence of the carbon-carbon double bond in eugenol can be tested using the bromine water test. write a balance equation for the reaction involved in this test?

The balance chemical equation for the reaction that involved in bromine water test to check the presence of carbon-carbon double bond is;

C₁₀H₁₂O₂ + Br₂ + H ₂ O → C ₁₀ H ₁₃ O ₃ Br + HBr

Some C ₁₀ H ₁₂ O ₂ Br ₂ also form as a product.

When we use bromine water test to detect the double bond in alkenes, an alkene will change the color of bromine from brown to colorless.
