Decolorisation of bromine Highly reactive aromatic Phenols and aromatic amines react by substitution
solution with evolution of HBr compound (Phenols, reaction with bromine and an equivalent quantity of
aromatic amines etc) HBr is evolved.
No Decolorisation Saturated compound
Procedure: In a dry test tube take 100mg of the solid sample or 0.2ml of the liquid sample and add successively 1ml portions of the solvent shaking
vigorously until 3ml has been added. If the sample does not dissolve completely in 3ml of the solvent it may be regarded as insoluble in that solvent.
