Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Two IR spectrums are to be matched with two compounds
Concept introduction:
IR spectroscopy enables us to identify different
One of the greatest advantages of IR spectroscopy is that the frequency of a particular type of vibration is typically found within a characteristic range of frequencies, regardless of the functional group with which the vibration is associated. The fact that absorptions by certain vibrations appear with characteristic frequency ranges enables us to use IR spectroscopy to obtain structural information about a molecule. The

- What characteristics of the methyl benzoate spectrum rule out an aldehyde or carboxylicacid functional group giving the absorption at 1723 cm-1?arrow_forwardWhat IR frequencies would enable a chemist to distinguish between these molecules? CH;CH2OH and CH;CH2OCH;CH3 and CH, HCHCHCCIICH CH, d 3000-3100 cm-1 (=C-H)| 1620-1680 cm-1 (C=C) 3200-3400 cm-1 (OH) || 3000-3100 cm-1 (=C-H)arrow_forwardA compound (L) with the molecular formula C9H10 reacts with bromine and gives an IR absorption spectrum that includes the following absorption peaks: 3035 cm ¹(m), 3020 cm ¹(m), 2925 cm ¹(m), 2853 cm ¹(w), 1640 cm ¹1(m), 990 cm ¹(s), 915 cm ¹(s), 740 cm ¹(s), 695 cm ¹(s). The ¹H NMR spectrum of L consists of: Doublet 3.1 ppm (2H) Multiplet 5.1 ppm Multiplet 7.1 (5H) ppm Multiplet 4.8 ppm Multiplet 5.8 ppm The UV spectrum shows a maximum at 255 nm.

- The max peak in the UV-VIS absorption spectrum of acetone appears at 279nm when hexane is used as a solvent, but shifts to 262nm when water is used as solvent. Explain.arrow_forwardWhy do aldehydes, esters, and amides all have a strong absorption in the 1630-1780 cm1 region of their IR spectra? A) The bond between H and the sp³-hybridized C in these functional groups vibrates in this energy range. B) Each of these functional groups has at least two resonance structures, and the different vibrations of the resonance structures give off energy in this region. C) The bond between O and the sp²-hybridized C in these functional groups vibrates at a frequency in this energy range. D) Light at this wavenumber causes the average C to O bond length to increase which causes more of this light to be transmitted. E) An electron in the bond of these functional groups gets excited to the * orbital.arrow_forwardIdentify and explain the IR absorption characteristics of the unknown C6H14O in the 1400 to 4000 cm-1 range. Then identify the class of the unknown compound C6H14O. At the broad peak I believe it is either an alcohol & phenol or an amine. For the second peak i think it is an alkane.arrow_forward
- What would be the frequency of the fundamental absorption of a hydroxyl group if its first overtone was observed at 6200 cm³¹? What is the energy possessed by a band that appeared at 1710 cm¹ in an IR spectrum?arrow_forwardThe chemical formula is C8H12O. What is it’s structure and degrees of unsaturation? What important functional groups are in the spectra, and what peaks correspond with which hydrogens and carbons in the structure predicted.arrow_forwardThe functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound containing no nitrogen exhibits strong, broad absorption across the 2500-3300 cm-1 region, accompanied by 2200 (w) and 1715 (s) cm-1bands.Relative absorption intensity: (s)=strong, (m)=medium, (w)=weak. What functional class(es) does the compound belong to? List only classes for which evidence is given here. Attach no significance to evidence not cited explicitly.Do not over-interpret exact absorption band positions. None of your inferences should depend on small differences like 10 to 20 cm-1.
