The Jones test utilizes chromium trioxide and sulfuric acid to distinguish primary and secondary alcohols from tertiary alcohols. Primary alcohols are converted to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, while secondary alcohols to ketones. The Lucas test uses anhydrous zinc chloride in hydrochloric acid to differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols based on their reactivity. Tertiary alcohols react fastest, followed by secondary and then primary alcohols. Additionally, the ceric ammonium nitrate test can also indicate the presence of alcohols. Caution is advised when handling toxic chromium compounds.
