Infrared spectrum of methanol (CH3OH) exhibits a peak at 3300 cm and 3000 cm corresponding to the O-H and C-H stretching mode, respectively. If all the H atom in CH₂OH are replaced by a deuterium atom, determine the expected position of the O-D and C-D stretching modes (assume that bond strength k values are identical for both O-H and O-D; C-H and C-D). Mention one other characteristic stretching peak you would expect in the IR spectrum of methanol (CH3OH) other than these two peaks? What will be the effect of the replacement of H by D on this peak?

Question
Infrared spectrum of methanol (CH3OH) exhibits a peak at 3300 cm-¹ and 3000 cm-1
to the O-H and C-H stretching mode, respectively. If all the H atom in CH3OH are replaced by a
corresponding
deuterium atom, determine the expected position of the O-D and C-D stretching modes (assume
that bond strength k values are identical for both O-H and O-D; C-H and C-D). Mention one
other characteristic stretching peak you would expect in the IR spectrum of methanol (CH3OH)
other than these two peaks? What will be the effect of the replacement of H by D on this peak?
