...sources of error? I'm to distinguish between primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, and I got ideas from Lucas Test. So this is my procedure:

1. Add 1.5 cm^3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 1.5 cm^3 of zinc chloride solution to three separate test-tubes.

2. Then, add 6 cm^3 of three different isomeric alcohols to each test-tube.

3. Observe each liquid immediately after mixing.

4. Observe each liquid 5 - 6 minutes after.

5. Warm each test-tube in a water bath for 10 minutes or more and make observations.

Now, what are the variables?:
control:
manipulating:
responding:

Also, what are the sources of error??
