    The document describes several chemical reactions involving alkenes: 1) adding bromine water or acidified potassium manganate(VII) will change color, indicating the presence of an alkene; 2) heating an alkene with nickel catalyst produces an alkane through catalytic hydrogenation; 3) acidified potassium manganate(VII) oxidizes an alkene to a diol, while halogens or hydrohalogens add across the double bond to form halogenoalkanes through electrophilic addition; 4) alkene double bonds open to form polymers through addition polymerization.

    Test:

    Add bromine water and it will turn from brown to colourless quickly. Add acidified potassium manganate (VII) (acidified using concentrated sulphuric acid) and the soloution will turn from purple to colourless.

    Catalytic Hydrogenation
    If an alkene is heated to 200C with a Nickel Catalyst then it will form an Alkane.

    C4H8 + H2 C4H10

    Oxidation
    If acidified potassium mangante (VII) is added to an Alkene it is oxidised to make a Diol.

    Electrophilic addition
    If a Halogen or a hydro halogen (HBr) is added to an Alkene the alkene will for a halogenoalkane and the halogen will discolour

    C4H8 C4H8(OH)2

    C4H8 + Cl2 C4H8Cl2

    Addition Polymerisation
    The double bond opens up to make a polymer as shown below
