The IR (infrared) spectra of two pure compounds (0.010 M compound A in solvent and 0.010 M compound B in solvent) are given. The pathlength of the cell is 1.00 cm. The y-axis in the spectra is transmittance rather than absorption, so that the wavenumbers at which there is a dip in the curve correspond to absorption peaks.
