#### Infrared Spectrum Analysis

The image displays an infrared (IR) spectrum graph of an unknown compound. The x-axis represents the wavenumber expressed in cm⁻¹, ranging from 4000 to 500 cm⁻¹. The y-axis shows the transmittance or absorbance levels. Key peaks and troughs are visible within this spectrum, indicating the presence of certain functional groups in the compound.

#### IR Spectrum Features

- **Broad Peak around 3300 cm⁻¹**: This is often indicative of O-H stretching, which may suggest the presence of hydroxyl groups (OH).
- **Sharp Peak near 2200 cm⁻¹**: This may indicate the presence of C≡C or C≡N bonds, suggesting alkyne or nitrile groups.
- **Strong Peak near 1700 cm⁻¹**: Characteristic of C=O stretching, which points to carbonyl groups, possibly indicating ketones, aldehydes, or carboxylic acids.
- **Peaks around 1600-1500 cm⁻¹**: Could indicate C=C stretching, common in alkenes or aromatic compounds.

#### Question for Analysis

**What can be said about this unknown based on its IR spectrum?**

- [ ] The unknown has OH in the structure
- [ ] The unknown has C≡C/C≡N in the structure
- [ ] The unknown has C=O in the structure
- [ ] The unknown has H-C≡ in the structure
- [ ] The unknown has H-C= in the structure
- [ ] The unknown may have C-O in the structure
- [ ] The unknown may have C=C in the structure

This information helps determine the functional groups present in the compound based on the characteristic wavenumbers associated with different bond stretches or vibrations.
