how do you figure out what to expect IR to show about these two molecules?
13C NMR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the environments of a molecule's carbon atoms. Since carbon atoms are often connected to hydrogen atoms, which could split the carbon signal through spin-spin coupling, the coupling between C and H is often "turned off" through the use of broadband decoupling, causing each C signal to appear as a singlet. Draw an isomer of C5H11Cl that would be expected to have four resonances in its 13C NMR spectra.

5. The following spectroscopic information was obtained for an unknown compound. What is the structure of the compound? Explain your conclusions.
The compound p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide, which has the formula CH3OC6H4CNO, reacts with itself to form a dimer—a molecule that consists of two p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide units connected to each other (CH3OC6H4CNO)2. The reaction can be represented as A + A → B or 2 A → B where A represents p-methoxybenzonitrile N-oxide and B represents the dimer, (CH3OC6H4CNO)2. For the reaction in carbon tetrachloride at 40 °C with an initial concentration of 0.011 M, these data were obtained: Determine the rate law for the reaction. Determine the rate constant. Determine the order of the reaction with respect to A.
