a solution with all of the key peaks assigned so that if you miss a question you will be able to see what you may have missed and hopefully improve when you answer related questions in your class. There are several practice problem types to help you. First, there are questions with only one type of technique: mass spectrometry only, infrared spectroscopy only, or nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry only. Then there is a section where you use two techniques together: mass spectrometry plus infrared spectroscopy or nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry plus infrared spectroscopy. The examples are chosen to be useful to students in an introductory organic class, a refreshing approach compared to the overly complex examples found in many texts, which are designed for students in more advanced classes.
