IR spectroscopy detects molecular vibrations, specifically stretching and bending of bonds, which correspond to different functional groups.

A strong absorption around 1700 cm-1 is characteristic of carbonyl groups, which are found in ketones.

IR spectroscopy is used to identify pollutants in environmental samples by detecting specific functional groups associated with contaminants.

In food analysis, UV-Vis spectroscopy is often used to analyze color and pigments, which can indicate quality and freshness.

UV-Vis spectroscopy allows for rapid analysis time, making it advantageous for quantitative analysis in various applications.

UV-Vis spectroscopy is commonly used to measure the absorbance of drug solutions, which helps in determining the concentration of the drug in a sample.

The fingerprint region of an IR spectrum contains unique absorption patterns that can be used to identify specific molecular structures.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) can be equipped with both UV-Vis and fluorescence detectors for enhanced analysis of compounds.

A spectrophotometer is the modern analytical instrument commonly used for both UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy.

Ethanol would show a strong absorption in the IR region due to O-H stretching, characteristic of alcohols.

IR spectroscopy is commonly used to identify pollutants in air samples by analyzing their characteristic absorption spectra.

The KBr pellet method is a common sample preparation technique for solid samples in IR spectroscopy, allowing for clear spectral analysis.
