Baeyer's reagent is used in the laboratory for
Correct answer: C. Detection of double bond
- A. Reduction
- B. Oxidation
- C. Detection of double bond
- D. Detection of glucose
Explanation
Baeyer's reagent, also known as potassium permanganate, is primarily used in the laboratory to detect the presence of double bonds (alkenes) in organic compounds. When added to an unsaturated compound, potassium permanganate oxidizes the double bond, causing decolorization and indicating the presence of the double bond. The other options are incorrect because Baeyer's reagent is not commonly used for reduction reactions, general oxidation, or detecting glucose in organic compounds.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
