MCQ
Lucas test is used to distinguish between
  • ${1^o},\,{2^o}$ and ${3^o}$ alcohols
  • B
    ${1^o},\,\,{2^o}$ and ${3^o}$ amines
  • C
    Aldehydes and ketones
  • D
    Alkenes and alkynes

Answer

Correct option: A.
${1^o},\,{2^o}$ and ${3^o}$ alcohols
a
Lucas test is used to distinguish between $1^{\circ}, 2^{\circ}$ and $3^{\circ}$ alcohols.

Lucas reagent is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid.

The Lucas test in alcohols is a test to differentiate between primary $\left(1^{\circ}\right)$, secondary $\left(2^{\circ}\right)$, and tertiary $\left(3^{\circ}\right)$ alcohols.

Tertiary alcohols react immediately with Lucas reagent.

Secondary alcohols react within $10-15$ minutes (depending on their solubility).

Primary alcohols do not react appreciably with Lucas reagent at room temperature.
