0.3872g of an unknown weak acid with general formula HY, was dissolved in water and made up to a 500mL in a volumetric flask. The measured pH of the solution was 3.90. In a separate titration experiment, the K₂ of HY was determined as 100 x 10-6. The unknown acid HY underwent a series of chemical analyses to determine its structure. An infra-red spectrum of HY showed two main absorption peaks: a strong, sharp absorption at 1700 cm-¹ and a very strong, broad absorption from approximately 2700 - 3400 cm-¹. When reacted with a strong reducing agent, HY formed compound X. Compound X was then mixed with acidified potassium dichromate, producing an orange solution. When it was heated strongly, the solution turned green. A mass spectrum of HY contained two major fragments with m/z values of 43 & 45, respectively. b) Use all the information give above to deduce the most reasonable chemical structures for HY and X; and give the IUPAC names of both compounds. Credit will be awarded for correct reasoning.

The functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound contains no nitrogen and exhibits absorption bands at 3300 (s) and 2150 (m) cm ¹¹. 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 cm³¹. The functional class(es) of this compound is(are) .

12D.15 At low resolution, the strongest absorption band in the infrared absorption spectrum of 12C¹6O is centred at 2150 cm-¹. Upon closer examination at higher resolution, this band is observed to be split into two sets of closely spaced peaks, one on each side of the centre of the spectrum at 2143.26 cm-¹1. The separation between the peaks immediately to the right and left of the centre is 7.655 cm-¹. Make the harmonic oscillator and rigid rotor approximations and calculate from these data: (a) the vibrational wavenumber of a CO molecule, (b) its molar zero-point vibrational energy, (c) the force constant of the CO bond, (d) the rotational constant B, and (e) the bond length of CO.
