Example Question #2 : Ir Spectroscopy
Approximately where would a carbonyl peak be found on an IR spectrum?
Possible Answers:
2800cm-1
1000cm-1
1700cm-1
The peak location will vary depending on the compound being analyzed.
Correct answer:
1700cm-1
Explanation:
It is important to memorize a couple key functional groups, and where they are located on an IR spectrum. If you see a sharp peak near 1700cm-1, you can assume it is made by a carbonyl group.
Similarly, a wide peak around 3000cm-1 will be made by a hydroxyl group.
