Chemists often synthesize a molecule and need to determine if they made it or not and the presence or absence of a functional group could indicate whether or not the chemist made the molecule or not. ...Chemists often synthesize a molecule and need to determine if they made it or not and the presence or absence of a functional group could indicate whether or not the chemist made the molecule or not. In addition, the intensity of the peaks in the spectrum is proportional to the amount of substance present, enabling its application for quantitative analysis.
