Primary alcohol and secondary alcohol
Lucas reagents (anhydrous ZnCl2+HCl) are used to distinguish primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. This test is known as Lucas test.
Primary alcohols do not react with Lucas reagents.White turbudity appears after 5 to 10 minutes when Lucas reagent reacts with secondary alcohols.
Aldehyde and ketone test
The Silver Mirror Test
This test makes use of Tollen's reagent which contains the complex [Ag(NH3)2]+.
Aldehyde - Upon heating with Tollen's reagent solid silver metal is produced as Ag+ is reduced to Ag.
Ketone - No reaction occurs.
Test of ketone and methyl ketone
Iodoform test
methyl ketone undergoes oxidation by sodium hypoiodite (NaOI) to give a yellow ppt. of iodoform. But ketone does not respond to this test
Test of ketone and alcohol
Add an oxidizing agent, e.g. Jones reagent (Chromium trioxide (CrO3) in sulfuric acid) to a sample of both an heat it. The solution will turn from orange (Cr (VI))to green (Cr (III))in the test tube containing the alcohol (due to oxidation of the alcohol) but not the ketone (they cannot be oxidized).
