I'm about to have an organic chemistry test tomorrow and I don't fully understand the purpose of Mass Spectrometry. Can you please explain why it is used, is the molecule destroyed after (unlike IR spec), and any other useful details? I understand that IR spec is for identifying functional groups and together with NMR we can predict a likely compound. Where does mass spec come into play? Thank you!

HI can you please help me out with analysing this organic compound. i have attached all the spectrophotometer documents required such as NMR, IR and mass spec - can you also please show the hydrogen integration and peaks and a drawing of the molecule
analyse the spectra and write the name of the compound. Also write brief explanation for each spectra verifying the part of you suggested molecule (For IR indicate the functional groups which matches the peaks, for mass indicate the fragments, for CNMR and HNMR indicate which peak to what?
Hello! Could you please answer this with one long dimentional analysis like I am supposed to do it? Thank you!
i need help with predicting the Ir spec for the final product i also need to make it look like the example with the table and the ir spec digram i made an example of how it needs to look like the lab called Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution: Friedel-CraftsAlkylation

Also write brief explanation for each spectra verifying the part of you suggested molecule (For IR indicate the functional groups which matches the peaks, for mass indicate the fragments, for CNMR and HNMR indicate which peak to what).(maximum character: 60000)
Which molecule is consistent with both of these IR and 1H NMR spectra?
Consider the product below. a) Would this molecule have a non-zero alpha-value in polarimetry? Why? b) What stretches would be expected in an IR spectrum of this molecule? c) Predict the 1H NMR spectrum for this molecule. d) Predict the 13C NMR spectrum and DEPT spectra for all the Carbons. Use (+) for positive signals, (-) for negative signals, and (X) for no signal in the DEPT NMR spectra.
