Answer #1

The mass percentage of the atoms present in the compound are given, which doesn't make upto 100%. Thus the missing atom there with unique atomic mass was first to be discovered as can be seen in the answering images. MS and IR spectra leads us to the chemical formula and NMR data provides the data to construct the exact molecule.

Given C = 56.25% NMR shows 5-H H = 3.91 % atoms. O = 12.5% . Mass spectra shows base peak at 128 . 5 008 p 794/ Molecular ion

O-H So with one exchangeble of proton and rest aromatic protons, the compound is a mono-chlorophenol. Now, the NMR shifts are

Given C = 56.25% NMR shows 5-H = 3.91 % . O = 12.5% .

Mass spectra shows base peak at m/z=128 =>Molecular ion peak.

IR data: broad peak at 3300-3400 cm → H-bonded O-H.

NMR: Peaks around delta-(6.5-7.0) ppm. → Aromatic protons.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = 128 x 0.125 = 16 => number of O-atoms = 1.

Mass of carbon = 128 x 56.25/100 = 72 160 => number of C-atoms = 6.

Mass of Hydrogen = 128* 3.91/100 = 5 => number of H- atoms = 5.

There should be a Cl-atom present in the molecule to fulfil the molecular mass of 128.

Hence Chemical formula = C6H5OCl. Degree of unsaturation = (14-6)/2 = 4

So with one exchangeable O-H proton and rest aromatic protons, the compound is a mono-chlorophenol. Now, the NMR shifts are -> delta~6.1ppm = Hydroxyl group proton. delta~(6.5-7.2) ppm = 4 - different aromatic protons -- can only be when, Cl is at meta position with respect to –OH group. Hence the compound is --> meta-chlorophenol.
