The mass spectrum of one of the alcohols shows peaks at m/z values of 74.59 and 45.

(i) Deduce which two of the alcohols could produce this spectrum and identify the species responsible for the three peaks.

(ii) The spectrum also shows a significant peak at m/z = 31. Suggest which alcohol is responsible for this spectrum and deduce the species responsible for the peak at m/z = 31.

(c) Explain why the infrared spectra of all four alcohols are very similar.
