(a) You have found in the laboratory two liquids, C and D, in unlabeled bottles. You suspect that one is deuterated chloroform (CDC13) and the other is ordinary chloroform (CHC13). Unfortunately, the mass spectrometer is not operating because the same person who failed to label the bottles has been recently using the mass spectrometer! From the IR spectra of the two compounds, shown in Fig. P12.33 on p. 576, indicate which compound is which. Explain.
(b) How would these compounds be distinguished by mass spectrometry?
