    That's what I was thinking.
    I'm decently good at chem, took it at two different universities.
    But there is no way I would be able to do that between today and tomorrow xD

    ehhh...I suck at o-chem but I will take a wing at matching the IR to the compound. I am thinking that it is Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid, based mainly on the obvious -OH group from the broad and wide distribution at ~3200-2400, then the strong double peak at ~1750 is the C=0 bonds, and the alkene at the ~1650 peak. The others just do not seem to fit based on the shallow depth of that initial -OH reading on your given IR. I do not see a NH bond anywhere in that so Acetaminophen is out, caffeic acid has a very broad -OH and that is not present in your IR, Ibuprofen does not have the ester group. I could be wrong lol, I am basing this off of my work 2 years ago in organic chem but I gave it a shot and maybe it could help you out.

    Sorry Bro,
    Misunderstood you.
    but you said "and was going to see if you'd help me with ALL my work, but it's too much."
    So I thought you had backed out...
    Just to clear this up for anyone in the future, I will ALWAYS try my best to help anyone with their school work. (Chemistry/Math/Physics/Toxicology)
    And Yes, Sci_girl is spot on from what I could read from the workbook pages.

    that was...

    All technological jargon to me. I had no idea what that meant at all.

    What level chemistry is this?

    I got like a 72 in my High School Chem Regents...

    It's college level Chemistry.
    Although I'm in grade 12.

    What I wrote was based on first year organic chemistry in University lol. That graph with all the spikes and random lines is called an infrared spectroscopy analysis or graph. It just takes the compound in question and analyzes it for information based on the types of bonds present, in o-chem you learn how to read those peaks and what they represent (the types of bonds) to form an idea of what compound the analysis is looking at. I only used basic information for that IR graph but that is all I really remember, o-chem becomes much much worse in later years with complexity which is why I have avoided taking higher level courses lol.

    I just trust my doctor to know what medicine to prescribe me.

    I'll leave all the hard stuff to the professional people.

    All I know is that coke + mentos do not mix :3
