Question
**Educational Website Content: Analyzing Infrared Spectra**

**Infrared Spectra Exercise**

Watch the videos on page 2 and answer the following questions related to infrared spectroscopy.

**Task (a):** Analyze the infrared spectra provided and tabulate the important absorption bands.

**Task (b):** Identify and circle the possible molecular structure corresponding to the given spectra from the options below.

**Spectra A:**

| Region          | Absorption (cm⁻¹) | Functional Group | Base Value |
|-----------------|------------------|-----------------|------------|
| 4000 - 2700 cm⁻¹ |                  |                 |            |
| 2700 - 2000 cm⁻¹ |                  |                 |            |
| 2000 - 1600 cm⁻¹ |                  |                 |            |
| 1600 - 400 cm⁻¹  |                  |                 |            |

**Graph Explanation:**

Below the table is a graph labeled "Spectra 1." The plot displays the infrared absorption spectrum, with the x-axis labeled as "wavenumber (cm⁻¹)" ranging from 4000 to 600 cm⁻¹, and the y-axis showing absorption from 0 to 100%. The graph indicates various peaks, which correspond to different functional groups present in a molecule.

**Compounds:**

Five molecular structures are provided below the graph. Identify which structure corresponds to the given spectra based on the absorption bands identified earlier.

- **Compound A**: Features a hydroxyl (OH) group.
- **Compound B**: Contains ethyl and ketone groups.
- **Compound C**: Shows carboxylic acid functionality.
- **Compound D**: Comprises a phenyl ring with an alcohol group.
- **Compound E**: Includes a nitrile (CN) group.

Use this information to complete your analysis of the infrared spectra.
