| a. instantly cloudy; blue-green color change | 
| b. cloudy in 1-5 min; no reaction | 
| c. cloudy in 1-5 min; blue-green color change | 
| d. instantly cloudy; no reaction | 
Part F
allyl alcohol
| a. instantly cloudy; no reaction | 
| b. no reaction; blue-green color change | 
| c. instantly cloudy; blue-green color change | 
| d. no reaction; no reaction | 
(D)
Hexan-1-ol + lucas reagent ---------> no reaction, (because of less reactivity of primary alcohol due to formation of less stability of primary carbocation intermediate)
Hexan-1-ol + Chromic acid --------------> hexanoicacid, so color change from blue - green
(E)
Cyclohexanol + lucas reagent --------->cloudy in 1-5 min, (because of moderate reactivity of secondary alcohol due to formation of moderate stability of secondary carbocation intermediate)
Cyclohexanol + Chromic acid --------------> cyclohexanone, so color change from blue - green
(F)
Allyl alcohol + Lucas reagent -------------> Instantly cloudy (
because of more stable allyl carbocation intermediate)
Allyl alcohol + Chromic acid ----------> 2-propenal ( blue-green color change)
