Which shows an absorption band at a larger wavenumber: a carbonyl group bonded to a sp3 carbon or a carbonyl group bonded to an sp2 carbon of an alkene?
Draw structures for a saturated hydrocarbon that has a molecular ion with an m/zvalue of 128.
A solution of a compound in ethanol shows an absorbance of 0.52 at 236 nm in a cell with a 1 cm light path. Its molar absorptivity in ethanol at that wavelength is 12,600 M-1 cm-1. What is the concentration of the compound?
Rank the following compounds from highest wavenumber to lowest wavenumber for their C¬O absorption band:

Given that the force constants are similar for C¬H and C¬C bonds, explain why the stretching vibration of a C¬H bond occurs at a larger wavenumber.
