Expert Solution
Step 1

Different types of spectroscopy can be used to identify the structure of unknown compounds. Some common spectroscopy methods are NMR- spectroscopy, IR-spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, Mass spectroscopy, etc.

The IR-spectroscopy provides information about the presence of functional groups whereas NMR spectroscopy gives data about types of H present in the molecule.

Step 2

The molecular ion peak is used to determine the molecular weight of the given compound. It is the peak with the highest value of m/z in the mass spectrum.

Step 3

In the given spectrum the molecular ion peaks are:
