A solution was prepared with 1.6331 g of a solid dissolved in 50.0 mL water. The sample was placed in a 2.00 dm sample tube, and the observed rotation was found to be +3.45 degrees. The temperature at the time of measurement was 20.5 °C. Calculate the value of the specific rotation, and report it in the format shown above with the correct number of significant digits, and the proper units.
7. Consider the C=O stretching data for the following cyclic ketones: cyclopropane 1813 cm³¹; cyclobutanone 1791 cm³¹; cyclopentanone 1740 cm³¹. (a) which ketone has the strongest bond?

Why 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.
