Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

A compound ' X ' with molecular formula C3H6 burns with a sooty
flame and decolourises bromine water
This means that the compound has a double bond
The compound is Propene, CH3CH=CH2
Its reaction with Bromine water is shown below, which leads to
formation of 1,2, dibromopropane

A carbon -carbon double {covalent} bond is present in propene
At room temperature propene exists as a gas and has a petroleum
like odour
