Paper 2 · organic chemistry / combustion

In the apparatus shown, $100\ cm^3$ of a mixture of ethane and ethene is passed repeatedly over liquid A, which absorbs only one of the gases. Liquid A is

Aaqueous bromine

Baqueous sodium chloride

Cdilute sulphuric acid

Dwater

C=C

bond of ethene only, so the fall in volume gives the volume of ethene present.
