A simulated infrared absorption spectrum of a gas-phase organic compound is shown in the following figure. Use the characteristic group frequencies listed in Section 19.5 to decide whether this compound is more likely to be Cl₂CO, (CH₃)₂CO, CH₃OH, CH₃COOH, CH₃CN, CCl₄, or C₃H₈. Explain your reasoning.
