Answer:
Primary alcohol.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jones reagent is mixture of chromium trioxide (CrO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissolved in a mixture of acetone and water. Alternatively, potassium dichromate (K2CrO7) can be used in place of chromium trioxide because of its carcinogenic nature.
This oxidation reaction is an organic reaction for the oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes then carboxylic acid and secondary alcohols to ketones.
Lucas reagent is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride (ZnCl) in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The reaction involves substitution reaction in which the chloride replaces a hydroxyl group.
A positive test is indicated by a change in appearance of the solution, from clear and colourless to fog-like, which shows the formation of a chloroalkane. Accurate results for this test are observed in tertiary alcohols, as they form alkyl halides the fastest due to the stability of their intermediate tertiary carbocation.
Therefore, an alcohol in which there was a positive Jones test and a negative Lucas test indicates the presence of primary alcohol.
This is because:
A primary alcohol would test positive to Jones test but in Lucas test, the substitution reaction is the slowest as compared to the secondary and tertiary alcohols.
1° alcohols < 2° alcohols < 3° alcohols
So a primary alcohol will give a negative result to Lucas reagent.
