Propose possible structures consistent with each set of data. Assume each compound has an $sp^3$ hybridized $C-H$ absorption in its IR spectrum, and that other major IR absorptions above 1500 $cm^{-1}$ are listed. a. a compound having a molecular ion at 72 and an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1725 $cm^{-1}$ b. a compound having a molecular ion at 55 and an absorption in its IR spectrum at - 2250 $cm^{-1}$ c. a compound having a molecular ion of 74 and an absorption in its IR spectrum at 3600-3200 $cm^{-1}$
