(A)  have   identical   IR  spectra because they    have    the same    functional  groups.
(B) have identical IR spectra because they have the same specific rotation.
(C) have different IR spectra because they are structurally different.
(D) have different IR spectra because they have different specific rotations.

13 .    In  a   molecule    containing  a   carboxylic  acid    group,  what    would   be  expected    in  a   ^1 H–NMR
spectrum?

(A)  A  deshielded  hydrogen    peak    for the hydroxyl    hydrogen,   shifted left
(B) A deshielded hydrogen peak for the hydroxyl hydrogen, shifted right
(C) A shielded hydrogen peak for the hydroxyl hydrogen, shifted left
(D) A shielded hydrogen peak for the hydroxyl hydrogen, shifted right

14 .    The coupling    constant,   J,  is:

(A)  the    value   of  n   +   1   when    determining splitting   in  NMR spectra.
(B) measured in parts per million (ppm).
(C) corrected for by calibration with tetramethylsilane.
(D) a measure of the degree of splitting caused by other atoms in the molecule.

15 .    The IR  spectrum    of  a   fully   protonated  amino   acid    would   likely  contain which   of  the
following peaks?

I. A sharp peak at 1750 cm–1
II. A sharp peak at 3300 cm–1
III. A broad peak at 3300 cm–1


(A)  I  only
(B) I and II only
(C) II and III only
(D) I, II, and III
