Lab is Infrared Spectroscopy and Functional Groupd Identification
a) A compound that has a strong, sharp absorption bands at 1710cm-1 and a broadband at 3350cm-1. Will this be an acid always and if so what acid?
b) A compound has no absorption at 1710cm-1, but a broad band at 3350cm-1. Would this be alcohol and any particular alcohol if so?
a) A compound that has strong, sharp absorption bands at 1710 cm-1 and a broadband at 3350 cm-1 indicates presence of carboxylic acid. See any C=C stretch is present at 1600 cm-1 and aromatic ring virbration at 1500 cm-1. These aromatic ring vibrations present it is a aromatic acid.
b) A broad band at 3350 cm-1 indicates presence of alcohol group. See phenolic stretch at 1250 cm-1. Phenolic stretch is present it is a phenol derivative or 1050 cm-1 C-O stretch is present. It is a saturated alcohol.
