Infrared spectrometry can provide a complex fingerprint which is unique to the compound being examined. As its instruments as computer controlled, the matching of the spectrum of a compound to its standard fingerprint can be readily carried out.

How do you identify mystery gases?

Mystery gases can be identified using various methods such as gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, or by referring to specific properties such as odor, color, or density. Gas chromatography separates the components of a gas mixture based on their interactions with a stationary phase, while mass spectrometry identifies the gas by measuring the mass and abundance of its ions. Infrared spectroscopy analyzes the absorption of infrared light by the gas molecules to determine its chemical composition.


Is it possible to acquire a sharp peak for the OH groups of alcohols and phenols in infrared spectrometry?

Yes. se a very dilute solution of the sample and gas phase.


What are the strenghts of atomic absorption spectrometry compared to atomic emission spectrometry?

Atomic absorption spectrometry is more sensitive than atomic emission spectrometry.


Why is OH absorption of alcohols and phenols characterised by a broad peak in infrared spectrometry?

If a significant quantity of a compound is being analysed, a very large number of individual molecules will be present. The hydrogen bonds are formed in different ways and they absorb infrared radiation at varying frequencies. This results in a broad peak.
