Given below are two statements:
Statement I:
In Lucas test, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols are distinguished on the basis of their reactivity with cone. HCI + ZnCl 2 , 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:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsPrimary, secondary and tertiary alcohols can be differentiated by their reaction with Lucas reagent (anhyd. ZnCl 2 + cone. HC1).
• 3° alcohol 
Turbidity appears immediately at room temperature
• 2° alcohol 
Turbidity appears alter 5 minutes at room temperature
• 1 0 alcohol 
Do not gives turbidity at room temperature
