How Do IR Spectra Differ Between 4-Methylcyclohexene and 4-Methylcyclohexanol?

AI Thread Summary
The infrared spectra of 4-methylcyclohexene and 4-methylcyclohexanol differ significantly due to the presence of functional groups. 4-Methylcyclohexanol exhibits a strong hydroxyl group peak around 3200-3500 cm-1, while 4-methylcyclohexene displays a C=C peak characteristic of alkenes. The C-H out-of-plane bending vibrations in 4-methylcyclohexene provide structural insights into its geometry and substitution pattern. Understanding these spectral differences is crucial for identifying and characterizing organic compounds. Overall, the IR spectra serve as a valuable tool for distinguishing between these two compounds based on their functional groups.

1. Compare and interpret the infared spectra of 4-methylcyclohexene and 4-methylcyclohexanol.

2. Identify the C-H out-of-plane bending vibrations in the infared spectrum of 4-methylcyclohexene. What structural information can be obtained from these bands?

4-methylcyclohexanol contains a hydroxy group. If you are doing anything with IR, the big broak hydroxy group peak around 3200-3500 1/cm is something you should know by heart.

4-methylcyclohexene, being an alkene, would contain a C=C peak which wouldn't be found in the alcohol.

Just consult the IR section of your organic chem textbook for where the out-of-plane bending vibrations are, I don't remember anymore.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
