Answer:
A)The characteristic frequency to look out for is 1720-1740 cm-1 (for C=O) for which will disappear in the end product but initially present in the reactant.
B)Characteristic frequency present in the infrared spectrum will be at a peak of 3300-3400 cm-1 which will be due to O-H stretch.
C)If the product is wet with water there will be no change in the infrared spectrum
Explanation:
The characteristic frequency to look out for is 1720-1740 cm-1 (for C=O) for which will disappear in the end product but initially present in the reactant.
Characteristic frequency present in the infrared spectrum will be at a peak of 3300-3400 cm-1 which will be due to O-H stretch.
If the product is wet with water there will be no change in the infrared spectrum
I believe the answer to your question is none of the above
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
