A student has acquired an IR spectra of an unknown six-carbon molecule and has determined that it is either 2-hexyne, 1- hexyne, or 1-hexene. How can the student use their knowledge of IR spectroscopy to determine the identity of the molecule? In your answer, clearly specify what regions of the IR spectrum the student should look at and what bonds are responsible for the absorption bands you indicate.

In comparing fluorescence spectroscopy to UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, which of the statements is true? Fluorescence measurements are more precise and less noisy because only the intensity of the emitted light is measured. Fluorescence measurements do not suffer deviations from linearity like absorbance measurements do. Fluorescence measurements have better detection limits because at low concentrations a low intensity emission signal is being measured against a low intensity background signal. O Fluorescence instruments are less expensive than absorption measurements.
