The IR spectrum A is the compound heptanal. The structure of the heptanal is In the IR spectrum the peaks at below 3000 cm -1

The IR spectrum A is the compound heptanal. The structure of the heptanal is 

In the IR spectrum the peaks at below 3000 cm-1 corresponds to the sp3 carbons i.e. asymmetric and symmetric  -CH3 stretching. The second peak at 2750 cm-1is due to fermi resonance of the aldehyde. This is an unique for the aldehyde compounds.


The third peak at  1725 cm-1is due to aldehyde carbonyl stretching. This confirms  the presence of heptanal.


The IR spectrum B corresponds to the acetic acid (CH3COOH). The -OH stretching of acid shows an broad peak 3400- 2400 cm-1. 



The carbonyl stretching of acid carbonyl occurs at  1700 cm-1. This confirms the structure is acetic acid.



The IR spetrum C corresponds to the 2-butanol because -OH stretching shows a sharp peak at between 3400-3300 cm-1.  The  peaks at below 3000 cm-1 corresponds to the sp3 carbons i.e. asymmetric and symmetric  -CH3 stretching. This confirms the 2-butanol.


 

The IR spetrum D corresponds to the compound 3-pentanone because the peaks at below 3000 cm-1 corresponds to the sp3 carbons i.e. asymmetric and symmetric  -CH3 stretching. The characteristic keto carbonyl stretching observed at 1715 cm-1 . This confirms the presence of 3-pentanone.
