SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around the analysis of molecule B using IR and NMR spectroscopy. Key findings include the identification of a carbonyl group (C=O) in the IR spectrum and the molecular formula C2H4O consistent with the mass spectrum. The analysis indicates two hydrogen environments based on the presence of two signals in the NMR spectrum. Additionally, the peak at 2.7 ppm is likely due to protons adjacent to a carbonyl group, while the peak at 1.1 ppm represents protons adjacent to a CH2 group.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of IR spectroscopy and bond identification
  • Familiarity with mass spectrometry and molecular ion determination
  • Knowledge of 1H NMR spectroscopy and chemical shift interpretation
  • Ability to analyze hydrogen environments in organic molecules
NEXT STEPS
  • Study IR spectroscopy for functional group identification
  • Learn about mass spectrometry and molecular ion analysis techniques
  • Explore 1H NMR spectroscopy and its applications in organic chemistry
  • Investigate the concept of hydrogen environments and their significance in NMR analysis
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, organic chemists, and anyone involved in molecular analysis using spectroscopy techniques.

Homework Statement



Spec diagrams are attached, could someone see if i am correct so far with these questions

1)Which types of bonds can be identified in the IR spectrum of molecule B? carbonyl group i believe

2) By identifying the molecular ion, determine which of the molecular formula is consistent with the mass spectrum of B. C2H4O i believe


3)How many hydrogen environments are there in molecule B? 2 signals so 2 peaks

4)The peak at 2.7 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum of B is most likely to be:

5)Identify molecule B ? not sure guys

can someonehelp in q4 and 5

cheers
