AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around analyzing molecule B using IR and NMR spectroscopy, with specific questions about bond identification, molecular formula, hydrogen environments, and peak interpretations. The participant believes that the IR spectrum indicates a carbonyl group and suggests the molecular formula C2H4O based on the mass spectrum. They identify two hydrogen environments and propose that the peak at 2.7 ppm corresponds to a proton adjacent to a carbonyl. However, they express uncertainty regarding the identification of molecule B and seek assistance for the final question. Overall, the participant is looking for validation and guidance on their analytical conclusions.

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
