Explain your thoughts on whether or not using solely IR is a good method to make positive IDs of chemicals.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No, IR should not soely be used to identify molecules

Explanation:

IR is a method that identifies the functional groups in a molecule by deducing the frequency of stretching and vibration of bonds. Each peculiar type of bond has a frequency for the vibration of each bond represented on the IR spectrum.

However, one method is never enough to identify a compound. A combination of methods must always be used to clear up ambiguities arising from overlapping IR frequencies. Also,  interpretation of the nuanced peaks of the fingerprint region in IR spectra is quite challenging and only gives a fair idea of the functional groups present in the compound.

Therefore other methods such as NMR, UV-VISIBLE etc should also be involved in the identification of compounds.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Organisms become more complex over time.

Explanation:

We all evolved from the first bacteria, which was relatively simple. We see over time that things become more adapted, slowly adding eyes, lungs, behavioral patterns, and consciousness.

Define the law of conservation of charge and provide an example.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Conservation of Charge is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved.
