Infrared spectroscopy is often used to determine the presence of a carbonyl group in a compound. It is a strong band that appears at approximately 1700 cm in aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids and their derivatives. A carboxylic acid will show another stretch band of carbon bound oxygen in one respect to the others: a.) lower frequency b.) higher frequency c.) frequency in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum d.) electromagnetic similar frequency
