Question

Lucas test is used to make distinguation between $ 1^{\circ}, 2^{\circ} $ and $ 3^{\circ} $ alcohols. This shown that -, $ \mathrm{ROH} $ behaves as a base, greater the value of $ \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{a}} $ (alcohols), greater the reactivity with conc. $ \mathrm{HCl} $ and thus sooner the formation of white turbidity, both of the above are correct, none of the above is correct

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

ROH behaves as a base and gets protonated. Greater the value of p K a (teritary alcohols), greater the reactivity with conc. H C l and thus sooner the formation of turbidity
