Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The peaks of the NMR spectra are to be assigned to hydrogen atoms of diethyl ether and 2-butanol.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiations. Proton NMR spectroscopy identifies the number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule and the nature of the functional group. The value of chemical peaks depends upon the chemical environment around the hydrogen atom.

How can you distinguish aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids from each other using IR spectra? Explain using specific examples.
2. According to the Beer-Lambert law absorbance is proportional to concentration at each wavelength. In principle, one could choose any wavelength for quantitative estimations of concentration. However, we generally select the wavelength of maximum absorbance for a given sample and use it in our absorbance measurements. Especially, one should avoid the steep portions of the spectrum. Why? 3. Which concentration range a dilute or a concentrated one - is chosen for accurate determinations of unknown concentrations?
A student has acquired an IR spectra of an unknown six-carbon molecule and has determined that it is either 2-hexyne, 1- hexyne, or 1-hexene. How can the student use their knowledge of IR spectroscopy to determine the identity of the molecule? In your answer, clearly specify what regions of the IR spectrum the student should look at and what bonds are responsible for the absorption bands you indicate.
