Given below are two statements: Statement I: In Lucas test, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols are distinguished on the basis of their reactivity with conc. , known as Lucas Reagent. Statement II: Primary alcohols are most reactive and immediately produce turbidity at room temperature on reaction with Lucas Reagent. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Statement I is correct as Lucas test is used to distinguish alcohols. Statement II is incorrect because tertiary alcohols are the most reactive towards Lucas reagent and produce turbidity immediately, while primary alcohols are the least reactive and do not produce turbidity at room temperature.
