Devils Words:

Lucas Test. This test is used to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. Lucas reagent is a mixture of zinc chloride, ZnCl2, in concentrated HCl

CH3CH2-OH + HCl + ZnCl2 ® no reaction
1o alcohol

(CH3)2CH-OH + HCl + ZnCl2 ® (CH3)2CH-Cl + H2O (10 min., heat)
2o alcohol insoluble

(CH3)C-OH + HCl + ZnCl2 ® (CH3)3C-Cl + H2O (immediate)
3o alcohol insoluble

thats is the equation for lucas test

This one makes more sense than the above equation:

Manto Test. This test is used to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary Devils. Elden reagent is a mixture of mantonium chloride, MaCl2, in concentrated HCl

If it head-butt you, its primary Devil type
If it snarls at you, its secondary Devil type
If it smears his nose shit all over the small glass window in the door, its tertiary Devil type.
If it posses all three characteristics, you dont want to sit beside him.
