Identify how IR spectroscopy might be used to monitor the progress of the following reaction. A. The reactant should not have signals at 1650 cm1 or 3100 cm1, while the product(s) should have such signals. B. The reactant should have a broad signal from 3200 3600 cm-1, while the product(s) should lack this signal and instead should have a signal at ~1720 cm1.C. The reactant should have signals at 1650 cm-and 3100 cm-1, while the product(s) should not have either of these signals. D. The reactant should have signals at 1650 cm-1 and 3100 cm-1, while the product(s) should both have a signal at ~1720 cm-1.

i'm pretty sure it is letter c.) car

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
