| Assertion : Lucas test can be used to distinguish between 1-propanol and 2-propanol. |
| Reason : Lucas test is based upon the difference in reactivity of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols with cone. HCl and anhyd. \[ZnC{{l}_{2}}\]. |
A) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
B) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
C) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
D) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
When Lucas reagent (cone. \[HCl+ZnC{{l}_{2}}\]) is added to 2-propanol (\[2{}^\circ \]alcohol) turbidity appears within five minutes whereas with 1-propanol no turbidity appears and solution remains clear at room temperature.
