- 1. The hydrogen-bond stretching frequency in the acetic acid dimer is roughly 170 cm¹. Which of the following techniques should you choose to measure the stretching frequency? (a) UV-vis absorption (b) Fluorescence (c) IR absorption (d) Raman Scattering In 1-2 sentences, explain your reasoning:arrow_forwardCalculate the relative intensity of the mono-isotopic peak for the fullerenes C60 and C84.arrow_forwardWhat is the function of a chromophore and an auxochrome in the development of colour in an organic compound. Then explain how the HOMO-LUMO gap of a molecule is important in developing colour and how conjugation gives rise to a Red Shift (bathochromic shift).arrow_forward
- Why do aldehydes, esters, and amides all have a strong absorption in the 1630-1780 cm1 region of their IR spectra? A) The bond between H and the sp³-hybridized C in these functional groups vibrates in this energy range. B) Each of these functional groups has at least two resonance structures, and the different vibrations of the resonance structures give off energy in this region. C) The bond between O and the sp²-hybridized C in these functional groups vibrates at a frequency in this energy range. D) Light at this wavenumber causes the average C to O bond length to increase which causes more of this light to be transmitted. E) An electron in the bond of these functional groups gets excited to the * orbital.arrow_forwardThe IR and 1H NMR spectra of an unknown, whose molecular formula is C11H14O3, are shown below. The following questions will guide you in determining the structure.a- Determine the degree of unsaturation of the unknown. Show your calculation.b- Identify three significant bands in the IR spectrum that will help to conclude on the functions that exist in this molecule.arrow_forward1. The IR frequency of C≡N¯ in fac-[IrCl3(C≡N)3] is 2200 cm-1. Estimate the IRfrequency of C≡N¯ for fac-[IrF3(C≡N)3] with an explanation.2.

- The spacings of the rotational fine structure lines of carbon dioxide 12c1602 are determined from IR spectroscopy to be 0.7564 cm ¹. Calculate the C-O bond length of the molecule (given masses: m(12C) = 12 amu, m(¹60) = 15.9949 amu). Angstroms Hint: Look in Table 12.1 of Atkins/dePaula (P. Chem. 9th edition) to learn the relations between the moment of inertia, masses, and bond lengths of various types of rotors. Submit Answerarrow_forwardThe weight of proteins or nucleic acids in solution is often determined by UV spectroscopy using the Beer-Lambert law. For example, the molar absorptivity, ɛ, of double-stranded DNA at 260 nm is 6670 M'cm-!. The formula weight of the repeating unit in DNA (650 Daltons) can be used as the molecular weight. What is the weight of DNA in 4.0 mL of aqueous buffer if the absorbance, measured in a 1-cm cuvette, is 0.35? Choose the correct value from the drop-down list provided.
