Organic Chemistry

Bromine's primary intermolecular force is dispersion forces. It will preferentially dissolve into the organic solvent because the intermolecular forces with an organic solvent are stronger than intermolecular forces in water

an orange solution is added to a colourless liquid. Upon addition, the aqueous layer (bottom) turns colourless/fades in colour while organic solvent turns red

The colours of the liquids swapped (transferred) for cyclohexane. For the cyclohexene, upon shaking, both turned colourless.
