Lucas lest : it is a combination of anhydrous zinc chloride (Lewis acid) in concentrated hydrochloric acid. It is used as a reagent to test alcohols and classify them in accordance to their reactivity.
Primary alcohol: Here no visible reaction is observed and the solution remains colorless e.g. 1-Pentanol
Secondary alcohol: Here the solution turns turbid or cloudy in 5-20 minutes with slight heating e.g. 2-Pentanol
Tertiary alcohol: Here the solution turns turbid or cloudy rapidly with the formation of two separate layers at room temperature e.g. 2-Methyl-2-butanol
hope this will help u
