    You shake a few drops of your alcohol with the reagent in a test tube. A tertiary alcohol reacts almost immediately to form the alkyl halide, which is insoluble and forms an oily layer. A secondary alcohol reacts within 3 min to 5 min. A primary alcohol does not noticeably react with Lucas reagent at room temperature.
