easy · MCAT chem-phys
A researcher uses an infrared (IR) spectrometer to identify the functional groups in an unknown organic liquid. The spectrum shows a very strong, broad absorption peak centered around 3300 cm^-1.
This peak is most likely characteristic of which functional group?
- Cyano group (C ≡ N)
- Carbon-carbon double bond (C=C)
- Carbonyl group (C=O)
- Hydroxyl group (O-H)
