Question

Th alcohol which does not react with Lucas reagent is a. Isobutyl alcohol
b. n-butyl alcohol
c. Tert butyl alcohol
d. Sec butyl alcohol

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

No

Answer 2

1. Lucas reagent is an anhydrous zinc chloride and concentrated hydrochloric acid solution.
2. It is used to distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
3. At room temperature, primary alcohols do not react with Lucas reagent, so no turbidity is formed.
4. Since, Isobutyl alcohol is a primary $(1^{\circ} )$ alcohol that oxidises easily, therefore, it fails or does not react with the Lucas reagent test.

Hence, option a) is correct.
