The functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound contain

ing C, H, and O exhibits intense absorption at 1720 cm-1. No additional information is available. List possible classes for which there is positive evidence.
Relative absorption intensity: (s)=strong, (m)=medium, (w)=weak.

What functional class(es) does the compound belong to?
List only classes for which evidence is given here. Attach no significance to evidence not cited explicitly.
Do not over-interpret exact absorption band positions. None of your inferences should depend on small differences like 10 to 20 cm-1.

a. alkane (List only if no other functional class applies.)
b. alkene h. amine
c. terminal alkyne i. aldehyde or ketone
d. internal alkyne j. carboxylic acid
e. arene k. ester
f. alcohol l. nitrile
g. ether

Answer:

The class of this compound is <u>aldehyde or ketone (i).</u>

Explanation:

Absorption peak at 1720 cm-1 shows the presence of a carbonyl group, possibly an aldehyde or ketone with C=O bond.

Further information on molecular formula would be required for structural elucidation.

1. Carson completed conductivity testing on the solutions shown in the data table below and recorded his findings in the conduct
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

See below :)

Explanation:

There is an evident reason why some of the solutions Carson's has listed and observed, does conduct electricity and some that do.

A flow of electrical charge is called an electric current. Ions are atoms, or sets of atoms, that contain an electrical charge. There are two types of ions, cation or a positively charged ion containing a deficiency of electrons, and anion or a negatively charged ion which contains a surplus of electrons. When a solution conducts electricity the charge is carried within by ions that move through the solution. The larger the number of ions in the solution, the better the conductivity of the solution is. Pure water does not conduct very well because it contains very few ions, but when table salt (NaCl) is dissolved in the water, this solution does conduct well because the solution contains a more abundance of ions. The majority of the ions come from the table salt, chemically names sodium chloride. Because Sodium contains its sodium ions, and these are positive charge and chloride ions which is a negative charge, it is called an ionic substance. Not every substance is made up of ions, one such example is sugar (C12H22O11). Sugar is made up of uncharged particles also called molecules. Although sugar is a substance its molecules do not hold a charge, thus when sugar is dissolved in water, the solution does not conduct electricity, due to the lack of ions in the solution.

Therefore, depending on the ions that make up the compound, the substance would or would not conduct electricity.
