The characteristic signal of carbonyl carbon if acetone in I.R spectrum will be detected at:
Correct answer: D. 1720cm-1
- A. 3200cm-1
- B. 1200cm-1
- C. 800cm-1
- D. 1720cm-1
Explanation
This is the correct answer. The characteristic signal of the carbonyl carbon in acetone (CH3COCH3) is typically found in the region around 1720 cm-1. This corresponds to the stretching vibration of the C=O bond in the carbonyl group.

About Spectroscopy and Analysis
Spectroscopy studies how substances absorb, emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation. Coverage includes ultraviolet-visible absorption, infrared identification of functional groups, Beer-Lambert law, spectral interpretation and the use of spectroscopic data to identify or determine the concentration of chemical substances.
