easy · MCAT chem-phys
An organic chemist uses infrared (IR) spectroscopy to identify a functional group in an unknown liquid. They observe a strong, sharp absorption band near 1710 cm^-1.
This signal is characteristic of which functional group?
- Hydroxyl group (-OH)
- Carbonyl group (C=O)
- Alkane (-CH)
- Amine group (-NH₂)
