Answer:

Cocaine

Explanation:

The Scott test is a presumptive, qualitative colorimetric test for the presence of cocaine that is carried out in the laboratory or on the field. It consists of 3 steps;

  • Suspected substance is mixed with cobalt thiocyanate in an aqueous/glycerin solution.
  • Acidification of the resulting solution using HCl.
  • Extraction of substance's precipitate using chloroform

Blue organic phase indicates the presence of cocaine in substance while colourless organic phase indicates the absence.
