Hey guys, could I ask for some help with questions  :-[?


Question 4 (LCATT 2012)
What method would the research chemist most likely have used to identify the hydrocarbons shown above in the gas chromatogram?
A. Mass Spectroscopy
B.  1H NMR
C. Infrared Spectroscopy
D. UV- Visible Spectroscopy
I chose B and the answer was A. Any particular reason why it's A and not B...?

Because using A you can easily find out the molar mass of each compound. From those hydrocarbons, no two hydrocarbons share the same molar mass and hence they can be distinguished on that basis.

Ahh, thankyou :D
Sam- Lisachem Analytical topic test. :3

And another question guys, for IR do we say it tells us what bonds are present in the substance, not functional groups?  Because I came across a question that said it detected function groups, but I don't think C-H is a functional group.  Also with the Benzene ring, does it classify as a functional group? teacher said it was a functional group, but an exam said it wasn't o.o
