Cracking Hydrocarbons
Large hydrocarbon molecules can be broken up into smaller molecules by passing vapours over a hot catalyst, or by mixing them steam and heating them to a very high temperature
Cracking produces saturated hydrocarbons, used as fuels, and unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes)
Alkenes (and other unsaturated compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds) react with orange bromine water turning it colourless
