Answer:
1) positive
2) carbocation
3) most stable
4) faster
Explanation:
A common test for the presence of alcohols can be achieved using the Lucas reagent. Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride.
The reaction of Lucas reagent reacts with alcohols leading to the formation of an alkyl chloride. Since the reaction proceeds via a carbocation mechanism, tertiary alcohols give an immediate reaction. Once a tertiary alcohol is mixed with Lucas reagent, the solution turns cloudy almost immediately indicating an instant positive reaction.
Secondary alcohols may turn cloudy within five minutes of mixing the solutions. Primary alcohols do not significantly react with Lucas reagent obviously because they do not form stable carbocations.
Therefore we can use the Lucas reagent to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols.
Answer:
John Dalton
Explanation:
John Dalton in 1808 suggested that all matter consists of tiny particles called atoms and that the atoms of a specific element are identical.
He postulated the Dalton's atomic theory which has the following important parts;
- All matters consists of indivisible particles called atoms
- Atoms of the same element are similar and are different from atoms of other elements.
- Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
- Atoms combine in simple whole ratios to form compounds.
