Which of the following statements is (are) true about a compound that has molecular ion peaks in its mass spectrum at mass 170 and 172 and shows prominent peaks in its IR spectrum at 3150-3000 and 1600 cm^-1?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of molecular ion peaks at mass 170 and 172 suggests the compound contains a halogen, specifically chlorine, due to the natural isotopic abundance of Cl-35 and Cl-37. The IR spectrum peaks do not directly indicate impurity or the presence of an OH group; instead, the 3150-3000 cm^-1 range suggests C-H stretching in alkenes or aromatics, and the 1600 cm^-1 peak suggests C=C stretching, not necessarily an OH group or impurity.
