Which of the following chemical tests can be used to distinguish primary . Secondary and tertiary alcohol from each other ?

Assertion: The order of reactivity of alkyl halides towards S_(N^1) reaction in tertiary halidegtsecondary halidegtprimary halide. Reason: The reaction follows carbocation mechanism.

Alexander Williamson prepared diethyl by a simple method, now called as Williamson's ether synthesis . In this method, an alkyl halide is treated with sodium alkoxide prepared from sodium and alcohol. This reaction is used in the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers. It may be noted taht for preparing unsymmetrical ethers, the halide used should preferably be primary because secondary and tertiary alkyl halides may form alkenes as major product due to elimination process.

Primary and secondary alcohols are dehydrogenated by copper at 573 K to aldehydes and ketones respectively. In contrast tertiary alcohols are dehydrated to alkenes by heating with copper at 573 K. Similarly, primary alcohols are easily oxidised to form first an aldehyde and then a carboxylic acid while secondary alcohols are oxidised to ketones which are further oxidised to form a mixture of acids. Tertiary alcohols are oxidised with difficulty and with strong oxidising agents in acidic medium. They form first ketones and then acids. In the case of alcohols containing carbon-carbon double bond, some oxidising agents oxidise both double bond and OH group while other reagents donot affect C-Chond. The reagent which oxidises 1^(@) alcohol to aldehyde without affecting C=C double bond is
