Vedclass · Answer

(C) Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated $HCl$ and anhydrous $ZnCl_2$. It is used to distinguish between primary,secondary,and tertiary alcohols. Tertiary alcohols react fastest with Lucas reagent due to the formation of a stable carbocation,resulting in the immediate appearance of turbidity. Among the given options,$(CH_3)_3COH$ is a tertiary alcohol,therefore it gives instant turbidity.
