The UV/Visible spectrum for C10H14O exhibits a at 244 nm
C10H16 + hot KMnO4 + H2SO4 → C10H16O3
C10H16O3 + Zn(Hg)/conc HCl → C10H18O2
C10H18O2 + CH3CH2OH + H3O+ → C10H22O2
To determine the specific absorption peak at 244 nm for the UV/Visible spectrum of C10H14O, you would need to perform a UV/Visible spectroscopy experiment. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to obtain the UV/Visible spectrum and identify the absorption peak:
1. Prepare a solution of C10H14O: Dissolve a known amount of C10H14O compound in a suitable solvent (such as ethanol or methanol) to create a solution of known concentration.
2. Set up the UV/Visible spectrophotometer: Ensure that the spectrophotometer is properly calibrated and set to the UV/Visible mode.
3. Blank determination: Measure the absorbance of the solvent (without the C10H14O compound) at various wavelengths within the UV/Visible range. This will serve as a baseline for the subsequent measurements.
4. Measurement: Place the C10H14O solution in a suitable cuvette, and insert it into the spectrophotometer. Select the wavelength range encompassing the UV/Visible region and initiate the measurement.
5. Record the spectrum: The spectrophotometer will measure the absorbance of the C10H14O solution at different wavelengths. Typically, the spectrum will be displayed as a plot of absorbance versus wavelength. Record the data.
6. Determine the absorption peak: Analyze the UV/Visible spectrum to identify the wavelength (in this case, 244 nm) at which the absorption peak occurs. The absorption peak corresponds to the maximum absorbance of light by the C10H14O compound in the solution.
It's important to note that the reaction equations you provided are unrelated to the UV/Visible spectrum measurement of C10H14O. The reaction equations describe a series of chemical reactions involving different compounds, but they do not provide any information about the absorption spectrum or the specific absorption peak at 244 nm.
