Given below are two statements.
Statement I In Lucas test, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols are distinguished on the basis of their reactivity with conc. 
, known as Lucas reagent.
Statement II Primary alcohols are most reactive and immediately produce turbidity at room temperature on reaction with Lucas reagent.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below. [NEET 2022]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
alcohols can be distinguished by using Lucas reagents (conc. 
anhy. 
)
on the basis of the time taken for turbidity to appear, i.e.
Hence the order of reactivity of alcohol towards Lucas reagent is in the order 
.
So, Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
