Answer:
i) 1601 cm¹ - This absorption is likely from a C=O stretching vibration indicative of an aldehyde or ketone functional group.
ii) 1691 cm¹ - This absorption is likely from an O-H stretching vibration indicative of an alcohol functional group.
iii) From the parent, the mass lost to form the base peak at m/z = 105 is 17 amu.
iv) The likely structure of the fragment that is lost to form m/z 105 is C2H2O.
v) From the parent, the mass lost to form the m/z = 77 peak is 28 amu.
vi) The likely structure of the fragment that is lost to form m/z 77 is C2H3O.
