    Lucas reagent is:

    A)  \[arihy.\,AlC{{l}_{3}}+conc.HCl\]

    B)  \[anhy.AlC{{l}_{3}}+\text{ }cone.\text{ }HN{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[anhy.ZnC{{l}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[anhy.ZnC{{l}_{2}}cone.HCl\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Lucas reagent is anhy. \[ZnC{{l}_{2}}+\] cone. \[HCl\]. It is used to distinguish between \[{{1}^{o}}\], \[{{2}^{o}}\], and \[{{3}^{o}}\] alcohols as follows: \[ROH+HCl\xrightarrow{conc.\,anly.\,ZnC{{l}_{2}}}RCl+{{H}_{2}}O\] If cloudiness appears immediately \[-{{3}^{o}}\] alcohol. If cloudiness appears with five minutes \[-{{2}^{o}}\] alcohol. If cloudiness appears only upon heating \[-{{1}^{o}}\] alcohol.
