2. It is suggested that IR spectroscopy can be used to show whether an alcohol has been oxidised to an aldehyde or to a carboxylic acid by comparing the IR spectra of the alcohol and its oxidation product. Which of the following statements is true?
- You cannot tell to what the alcohol has been oxidised because these compounds do not absorb in the IR part of the spectrum.
- The alcohol has been oxidised to an aldehyde if the broad O–H absorption at about 3300 cm–1 in the alcohol spectrum is replaced by a narrow C=O absorption at about 1700 cm–1 in the product spectrum
- The alcohol has been oxidised to a carboxylic acid if it now has a broad C=O absorption at about 1700 cm–1 and has a narrow O–H absorption at 3300 cm–1 in the product spectrum.
- You cannot tell whether the alcohol has been oxidised to an aldehyde or a carboxylic acid because both give an IR absorption at around 1700 cm–1.
3. Gases that absorb IR are
- Greenhouse gases
- Noble gases
- Inert gases
4. molecules that absorb IR
- have bonds that can change polarity
- have non-polar bonds
