Write a test to detect the presence of a double bond in a molecule.
(N/A) The presence of a double bond in a molecule can be detected using the following tests:
$1$. Bromine Water Test: When an alkene is added to bromine water (which is brown in color),the bromine adds across the double bond,resulting in the decolourisation of the solution.
$C=C + Br_2 \rightarrow -C(Br)-C(Br)-$
$2$. Baeyer's Test: When an alkene is treated with cold,dilute,alkaline potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ solution (which is purple in color),it gets decolourised,forming a vicinal diol.
$C=C + KMnO_{4(aq)} \rightarrow -C(OH)-C(OH)-$

Of these,the entire amount of the primary alkyl bromide was reacted with an appropriate amount of diethylamine followed by treatment with aqueous $K_2CO_3$ to give a non-ionic product $S$ in $100 \% $ yield. The mass (in $mg$) of $S$ obtained is. . . . . . . [Use molar mass (in $g \ mol^{-1}$) : $H=1, C=12, N=14, Br=80$]
