### Matching Functional Groups with IR Frequencies

**Objective:** Match the following functional groups with their associated infrared (IR) frequencies. 

*Note: All measurements below are approximate wavenumbers given in cm<sup>-1</sup>.*

1. **Alkene (C-H)**
   - Possible IR frequency: 1700 cm<sup>-1</sup>

2. **Alkane (C-H)**
   - Possible IR frequency: 3050 cm<sup>-1</sup>

3. **Carbonyl (C=O)**
   - Possible IR frequency: 2900 cm<sup>-1</sup>

4. **Alcohol (O-H)**
   - Possible IR frequency: 3400 cm<sup>-1</sup>

### Explanation

Infrared spectroscopy is a technique commonly used in chemistry to identify functional groups within molecules. Each functional group absorbs infrared light at certain frequencies, which can be measured as wavenumbers (cm<sup>-1</sup>).

In the context above, select the appropriate IR frequency for each functional group based on typical absorption ranges.
