The correct Answer is:
To determine the unsaturation in an organic compound, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Unsaturation**: - Unsaturation refers to the presence of double or triple bonds in an organic compound. This means that the compound has fewer hydrogen atoms than a saturated compound (which only has single bonds). 2. **Identify the Test**: - The test used to detect unsaturation is known as **Baeyer's test**. 3. **Prepare Baeyer's Reagent**: - Baeyer's reagent is an alkaline solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO4). This reagent is typically purple or pink in color. 4. **Conduct the Test**: - Add a few drops of Baeyer's reagent to the organic compound you want to test for unsaturation. 5. **Observe the Color Change**: - If the organic compound is unsaturated (contains double or triple bonds), the pink color of the Baeyer's reagent will disappear, turning colorless. This indicates the presence of unsaturation. - If the compound is saturated (contains only single bonds), the pink color will remain unchanged. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the color change, you can conclude whether the organic compound is unsaturated or not. If the color changes to colorless, the compound is unsaturated; if it remains pink, the compound is saturated. ### Final Answer: The unsaturation in the organic compound can be tested by the help of **Baeyer's test**. ---
