Q1. Why is it common to use CCl4 as a solvent in IR spectroscopy? 

Q3. After completion of the previous reaction, you end up seeing the following peaks: 3300 cm-1 (broad intense peak), 3060-3040 cm-1 (2 medium intensity peaks), 3030-3020-3010 cm-1 (3 small peaks), 1640 cm-1 (low intensity peak), 1585 cm-1 (medium intensity peak), 1410 cm-1 (medium intensity peak), 1100 cm-1 (strong intensity peak), 1010 cm-1 (medium intensity peak), 900-690 (many peaks, medium intensities). Give the molecular structure of the actual final product for the previous reaction. (Hint: it is not a carboxylic acid, nor the ketone previously drawn.) 

Q4. You want to take the IR spectrum of acetylene. How would you prepare your sample? Mention all important details of the sample preparation (no need to describe the acquisition).
