Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The spectrum of cyclohexane and cyclohexene has to be identified and explained.
Concept introduction:
Spectroscopy: It is study of the interaction of matter and
IR frequency (cm-1): It is the number of wave crests that pass by a given point in one second frequency has units of hertz (Hz).
Stretch vibrations: It is a vibration occurring along the line of the bond a stretching vibration changes the bond length.
Bending vibrations: It is a vibration that does not occur along the line of the bond, bending vibration changes the bond angle.

- Look at the three infrared spectra in Figures C to E and answer the following questions (a) Are any of the spectra that of an alcohol? If so, which? What absorption pattern(s) at what wavelength(s) identifies an alcohol? (b) Are any of the spectra that of a compound containing a benzene ring? If so, which? What three absorption patterns at what wavelengths show that a compound has a benzene ring? (c) Are any of the spectra that of a compound containing only carbons and hydrogens? If so, which? Benzene rings contain only carbons and hydrogens. Might the spectrum or spectra you chose for your answer above indicate a benzene ring? (Tell what absorption patterns are present or not present that would support your answer.)arrow_forward1. Draw two constitutional isomers of the formula C6H11B1. Explain how you would differentiate those molecules using either spectroscopy or spectrometry. You only need to differentiate them using one example.arrow_forwardA sample of a red dye and a sample of a blue dye both have the same concentration. Their Absorbance is measured using the same spectrophotometer. At a particular wavelength, will both samples give the same Absorbance reading? Why or why not?arrow_forward
