- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the limits of each spectroscopic technique.
Question 5.
A compound has the empirical formula C₃H₇ and an M⁺ peak of 86 g/mol. Calculate its molecular formula and discuss possible structures.
Show hintHide hint
Use the ratio from the empirical formula to find n and multiply accordingly.
Question 6.
Given an IHD of 2, suggest potential structure options for the molecule, considering possible functional groups.
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how multiple unsaturation scenarios can fit an IHD of 2.
