Ethanoic acid has a melting point of 17 °C, ethanamide has a melting point of 81 °C, and ethanal has a melting point of -125 °C. Rationalize the differences in melting point between these three compounds.
Consider analysis of a mixture of saturated and unsaturated triacylglycerols (fish oil) Consider 3 methods: IR, NMR and GC-MS . How are these methods been used to characterize these molecules. Answer: What structural information can be obtain using each method? What are the limitations of each method? Lastly, if you were to use only one which would provide the most detailed structural characterization? Include pictures (structures, spectra etc.) and references with hyperlinks.
