You are given a bottle of an organic liquid and told it must be either cyclohexane or 1-hexene. Which of the following statements is (are) true about these two compounds? Multiple Choice Statements A (The two compounds can be differentiated by their mass spectra because they will have molecular ions at different masses), B (1-Hexene will show an absorption at 1650 cm-1 but cyclohexane will not), and (Both cyclohexane and 1 - hexene will show C-H absorptions at about 2950 cm-1) are all true. 1-Hexene will show an absorption at 1650 cm-1 but cyclohexane will not. The two compounds can be differentiated by their mass spectra because they will have molecular ion peaks at different m/z. Both cyclohexane and 1-hexene will show C-H absorptions at about 2950 cm-1. Statements B (1-Hexene will show an absorption at 1650 cm-1 but cyclohexane will not) and C (Both cyclohexane and 1-hexene will show C-H absorptions at about 2950 cm-1) are bot

Statements B (1-hexene will show an absorption at 1650cm-1 but cyclohexane will not)

C (both cyclohexane and 1-hexene will show C-H absorptions at about 2950cm-1)

are both true
