On the synthesized cyclohexene, gas chromatography was performed. At least one compound was present because there was one peak observed. The gas chromatography had a retention time of 0.386 seconds and the large peak was recorded at 0.386 seconds. The area of the peak is 10,530 and has 100% of the area, suggesting that the cyclohexene was very pure.
Infrared spectroscopy was also performed on the same cyclohexene end product. The peak for the alkene group was seen at about 2,800 1/cm. The graph for this compound has a major peak at about 2840-3000 1/cm, suggesting that the cyclohexene contains both alkenes and alkanes and that the experiment was successfully performed. Moreover, the frequencies of the infrared can determine the bonds as different interatomic bonds do not all vibrate the same. More specifically, double bonds have higher stretching frequencies than single bonds.
