21* A chemist isolates compound L, with empirical formula C3H6O, and sends a sample for analysis. 32 The analytical laboratory sends back the following spectra. Mass spectrum Molecular ion peak at m/z = 116.0. 1H NMR spectra The numbers next to each signal represent the number of 1H responsible for that signal. Two 1H NMR spectra were obtained: one without D2O and one with D2O added. 1H NMR spectrum with no D2O: Expansion of multiplet centred at2.7 ppm Specimen 1H NMR spectrum with D2O added:OCR 2014 H432/02<br />
