2a Bromine decolorization is used as a simple qualitative test for unsaturation.

Bromine is a
dark red-brown liquid, but alkenes and dibromoalkanes are colorless. Thus, a dilute solution
of bromine in an inert colorless solvent, such as dichloromethane, is rapidly decolorized
when it is added to an alkene.

2b formula of hydrocarbon: The formula for acyclic saturated hydrocarbons (i.e., alkanes) is
CnH2n+2. The most general form of saturated hydrocarbons is
CnH2n+2(1-r),

2c CH2(G)+BR(S)»BRC(S)+H2(G)
