Consider the following sequence of reactions:

a) Explain how you could use IR spectroscopy to differentiate between compounds F and G.

b) Explain how you could use IR spectroscopy to differentiate between compounds D and E.

c) If you wanted to distinguish between compounds B and F, would it be more suitable to use IR spectroscopy or mass spectrometry? Explain.

d) Would mass spectrometry be helpful for distinguishing between compounds A and D? Explain.
