Statement 1 is true but reason is not true for assertion.
Explanation:
ZnCl + HCl is known as Lucas reagent.
This reagent is used to differentiate alcohol.
- Lucas reagent is a mixture of anhydrous ZnCI2 and concentrated HCI is used for the distinction of monohydric alcohol.
- Tertiary alcohols on addition produce a precipitate immediately while secondary alcohols produce ppt. after 5 minutes.
- Primary alcohols do not product any precipitate. Therefore, assertion is true but reason is false.
