u know in the exp. which identifies which is which, using the bromine water, what would be some of the risk factors??

Thanks!!

Bromine has toxic fumes and is toxic to skin. Cyclohexene/ane is toxic to skin and eyes. Hence it should be conducted in a fume cupboard with goggles and possibly gloves.

a good one to use is that test tubes are brittle hence should be handled with care (oh course asssuming u use test-tubes), this is a good one coz u can use it for most experiments

also i think Cyclohexene gas is carcinogenic, hence exposure should be minimised (or is it BR2(g))
