Concept Introduction:
Functional group:
Functional group contains particular atom or group of atoms bonded in a molecule which has specific chemical and physical properties. The functional group contains heteroatoms and a multiple bond in a compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
The solubility of spermaceti wax has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Solubility:
The solubility is defined as the solid or liquid or gaseous substance which dissolves in suitable solvent. The solubility also depends upon the molecule is polar or nonpolar molecule. The nonpolar molecule has no separate positive and negative charge. Polar molecules have separate positive and negative charges.

To determine the specific structure of 'Q', a series of spectroscopic analyses are performed. The sequence of the analysis involves: Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which indicates the absence of functional groups like alcohols, ketones, and carboxylic acids. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, showing signals indicative of only methyl and methylene groups, with no evidence of methine (CH) or quaternary carbon environments. Mass spectrometry (MS), revealing a fragmentation pattern consistent with branched alkane structures. Based on this sequence of analyses, what is the most likely structure of compound 'Q'?
