16. The peak with the greatest m/z value for alcohols is given by m/z M-18, where M represents
the molecular weight of the alcohols. The number 18 in "M-18" means that the radical cation
loses a (an)
molecule.
A
Carbon dioxide, CO2
В
Ethene, C2H4
C
Water, H20
Carbon monoxide, CO
is it possible for a compound to have an Rf > 1?
How can you distinguish aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids from each other using IR spectra? Explain using specific examples.
