Question
Chapter 20.7A, Problem 20.7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The spectral characteristics that allow an individual to tell that structure is a carboxylic acid and the features that lead to conclude that the given acid contains unsaturation and conjugation are to be stated.
Concept introduction
A substance reacts with infrared radiations to produce the infrared spectrum. IR spectroscopy aids in identification of chemicals especially functional groups of substances. Infrared region has three parts named as near, mid and far infrared. Every functional group absorbs at specific value to give peak.
