The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the colors produced by primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols in the Victor Meyer's test, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Victor Meyer's Test**: - The Victor Meyer's test is a qualitative analysis method used to differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols based on the colors produced during the reaction. 2. **Procedure of the Test**: - The alcohol sample is first treated with iodine in the presence of red phosphorus. This step converts the alcohol into an iodine alkane. - The iodine alkane is then treated with alcoholic silver nitrate, resulting in the formation of nitroalkane. - The nitroalkane is subsequently treated with nitrous acid (HNO2), and the resulting solution is made alkaline by adding caustic soda (NaOH). 3. **Observation of Colors**: - After performing the above steps, the resulting solution's color is observed: - **Primary Alcohols**: Produce a **blood red** color. - **Secondary Alcohols**: Produce a **blue** color. - **Tertiary Alcohols**: Produce a **colorless** solution. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the colors observed for primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols in the Victor Meyer's test are: - Primary alcohol: Blood red - Secondary alcohol: Blue - Tertiary alcohol: Colorless 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct option that matches these observations is **Option B: Red, Blue, Colorless**.
