Chapter 14, Problem 38PP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The molecular formula for the compound under given conditions should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

IR spectral studies: It is a spectroscopic technique which is used to determine the functional groups present in the given compound sample by absorbing frequency in particular range with respect to the group present in the given sample.

Wavenumber: It is defined as the number of waves in one centimeter. The wavenumber indicates the location of each signal with respect to the functional group in the molecule and its unit is ${\text{cm}}^{\text{-1}}$.

Molecular ion peak: It is defined as the heaviest peak in the IR spectrum of the molecule which represents the largest molecular ion in the given molecule with greater m/z value.

To identify: The molecular formula for the given compound under given conditions.
