Answer» ROH behaves as a base GREATER the value of `pK_(a)` (alcohol), greater REACTIVITY with conc. HCl and thus sooner the formation of white TURBIDITY. Alcohol which reacts fastest with Na metal, will give turbidity at fastest rate alcohol which reacts fastest with Na metal, will give turbidity at fastest rate. Alcohol which gives red colour during victor mayor test, will always give turbidity at slowerrate then those giving blu or white colour during victor mayor test. Solution :`-`Proton act or lone pair donor are lewis base -HCl is proton donor (ACID) R-OH act as base, greater the pKa value of `R-OH` greater will basic nature, greater will tendency to donate lone pair a to take `H^(o+)`.
