Question
1. How could you distinguish between cyclohexane and cyclohexene using IR only?
Answers
Run both and compare with library standards as they are well known materials.
The spectra are very similar cyclohexene is characterised by a peak at just over 3000 wavenumbers and the large peak in cyclohexane at about 1450 wavenumbers is much smaller in cyclohexene.
