Give the characteristic absorption peaks of CH_3COOH.
• CH_3COOH spectrum will have the following characteristic peaks.
• Broad band at 3030–3040 \mathrm{cm}^{–1} due to hydrogen bonded O–H stretching of carboxylic acid.
• Band at 1720 \mathrm{cm}^{–1} due to carbonyl (C \xlongequal[]{} O) stretching of a saturated chain carboxylic acid.
• A band at 1280 \mathrm{cm}^{–1} due to C–O stretching of –COOH group.
• A band at about 940 \mathrm{cm}^{–1} due to O–H bending of –COOH group.
