A broad absorption between about 3200 and 3600 reciprocal centimetres indicates a
Answer: D
Correct answer: hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl group
The O-H stretch appears in this region, and hydrogen bonding is what makes it broad: each molecule experiences a slightly different bonding environment, so the absorption is smeared over hundreds of reciprocal centimetres. A free hydroxyl in dilute solution gives a sharp band near 3600 instead, and the contrast between the two is a useful test for association.
