The following spectra correspond to the IR spectra of octyl acetate.

1. Compare the theoretical spectrum with the experimental spectrum and identify the main characteristic absorption bands of the compound
2. Explain what these absorption bands are, whether they are tension or flexion etc.
3. The spectra correspond to the same molecule? Indicate the possible interferences in the spectrum. The product comes from the fischer esterification between acetic acid and 1-octanol catalyzed with sulfuric acid.
