Lucas reagent is used to test for the presence of alcohols in a substance. It is made from anhydrous zinc chloride and concentrated hydrochloric acid.
The Lucas test is applicable for cyclohexanol. Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol and s reported to react with the Lucas reagent after a few minutes.
The Lucas Test is limited to alcohols which are soluble in the Lucas reagent, because otherwise, the test will not produce the second insoluble layer. These also include some poly-functional alcohols, and often have less than 6 carbon atoms.
The simplest test is the iodine test.
Nitric acid
The Biuret reagent can be used.
The Lucas test is applicable for cyclohexanol. Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol and s reported to react with the Lucas reagent after a few minutes.
First, my text says that the Lucas test is not applicable to compounds with six carbons or more. This is due to the solubility of the compound in the reagent. A compound with more than six carbons is to large to be dissolved in the reagent and therefore will not react in most cases.

Lucas' reagent is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid used to classify low molecular weights of alchohols. In 1930, this test became the standard method in qualitative organic chemistry.
Biuret reagent is used to test for protein in urine. It is a common test that students in biology class perform. Urine is added to a test tube, followed by approximately the same amount of Biuret reagent. If the solution turns lavender this means that there are proteins present in the urine.

This reagent is bromine in solution.
The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.
This is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and anhydrous zinc chloride (which acts as a catalyst). To prepare, mix 136.29 g of anhydrous zinc chloride (ZnCl2) with 105 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). Place beaker in an ice bath, due to the exothermic reaction. Stir with a glass rod until all ZnCl2 is dissolved.
The Lucas test is used to determine the number of alkyl groups present in a compound. It is based on the fact that the compound to be tested is mixed with Lucas reagent, which is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid. If the compound has one alkyl group, then a single layer of liquid is formed. If the compound has two alkyl groups, then two layers of liquid are formed.
The ability of bacteria to produce cytochrome oxidase can be determined by the addition of the test reagent p-aminodimethylaniline oxalate to colonies grown on a plate medium.
