### NMR Spectrum Analysis: Compound Identification of C₈H₉Cl 

#### Overview
The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrum provided is an essential analytical tool in chemistry for identifying the structure of compounds. In this document, we will interpret the NMR spectrum of the compound with the molecular formula C₈H₉Cl, labeled as **Spectrum IV**.

#### Spectrum Description
The spectrum showcases the chemical shifts (δ) in parts per million (ppm) on the x-axis, indicating the environment of hydrogen atoms (protons) within the molecule. The y-axis represents the signal intensity. Here's a detailed breakdown of the spectrum’s components:

1. **Chemical Shifts (δ) and Signal Multiplets:**
   - **Peaks observed around δ ≈ 7-8 ppm:** 
     - This region typically corresponds to aromatic protons. The cluster of peaks near this chemical shift suggests the presence of an aromatic ring.
   - **Peaks observed around δ ≈ 3-4 ppm:** 
     - This region is often indicative of protons attached to carbons next to electronegative atoms such as chlorine. This is expected as the molecular formula includes chlorine.
   - **Peaks observed around δ ≈ 1-2 ppm:** 
     - Protons in this region are generally part of alkane chains (methyl groups).

2. **Integration and Peak Splitting:**
   - Integration of the peaks (area under the curve) will provide information on the relative number of protons contributing to each signal.
   - Splitting patterns (multiplets) in the peaks such as doublets, triplets, or quartets provide further insight into the number of neighboring protons (n+1 rule).

#### Interpretation
Based on the given NMR spectrum for C₈H₉Cl:
- **Aromatic Region (δ ≈ 7-8 ppm):** 
  - The presence of multiple peaks suggests a substitution pattern on the benzene ring.
- **Alkyl and Halogen-Substituted Regions (δ ≈ 1-4 ppm):**
  - The peaks in the δ ≈ 3-4 ppm range likely correspond to protons neighboring the chlorinated carbon.
  - Peaks in the δ ≈ 1-2 ppm range could indicate methyl groups attached to the aromatic ring.

#### Conclusion
The NMR spectrum is a fundamental tool for elucidating the structure
