deduce the presence of a CH\(_3\)CH(OH)- group in an alcohol, CH\(_3\)CH(OH)-R, from its reaction with alkaline I\(_2\)(aq) to form a yellow precipitate of tri-lodomethane and an ion, \( RCO_2^-\)
deduce the number of carbon atoms, n, in a compound using the \([M + 1]^+\) peak and the formula \(n = rac{100 imes ext{abundance of } [M + 1]^+ ext{ion}}{1.1 imes ext{abundance of } M^+ ext{ion}}\)
understand and use systematic nomenclature of simple aliphatic organic molecules with functional groups detailed in the table on pages 29 and 30, up to six carbon atoms (six plus six for esters, straight chains only for esters and nitriles)
