#1
Front (Question)

why is CDCl3 used in proton NMr (4 marks)

Back (Answer)

• good solvent • deuterium is not NMR active • better at dissolving polar substances • inert

#2
Front (Question)

why is CCl4 used in proton NMR (4 marks)

Back (Answer)

• inert • dissolves non polar substances • good solvent • not NMR active

#3
Front (Question)

why is CHCl3 not used in proton NMR if it is a good solvent?

Back (Answer)

produces one large peak due to H in solution and tiny peaks for actual compounds

#4
Front (Question)

why is TMS used in NMR

Back (Answer)

• inert • calibrates the NMR • very soluble in anything • very shielded (protons)

#5
Front (Question)

how many protons and how many environments are these protons in, in TMS?

Back (Answer)

12 protons which are all in the same environment so give a single sharp peak that can be easily identified

#6
Front (Question)

how many carbons does TMS have and how many environments are these in

Back (Answer)

4 carbons in the same environment that will give a single sharp peak that can be easily identified

#7
Front (Question)

what is an integration trace

Back (Answer)

the area under the peak is proportional to the number of protons that cause the absorption

#8
Front (Question)

how do you calculate the number of peaks

Back (Answer)

number of protons in neighbouring environment + 1 n +1

#9
Front (Question)

if there is 1 neighbouring proton 1. how many peaks are there? 2. what is it called? 3. give the ratio?

Back (Answer)

• 2 peaks • doublet • 1:1

#10
Front (Question)

if there are 2 neighbouring protons 1. how many peaks are there? 2. what is it called? 3. give the ratio?

Back (Answer)

• 3 peaks • triplet • 1:2:1

#11
Front (Question)

if there is 3 neighbouring proton 1. how many peaks are there? 2. what is it called? 3. give the ratio?

Back (Answer)

• 4 peaks • quartet • 1:3:3:1

#12
Front (Question)

if there are 4 neighbouring protons 1. how many peaks are there? 2. what is it called? 3. give the ratio?

Back (Answer)

• 5 peaks • multiplet • 1:4:6:4:1

#13
Front (Question)

what are the 4 steps to making an NMR spectrum for a known compound

Back (Answer)

• get formula of compound • draw structure • ask census questions to carbons • work out what spectra would look like where would you place stuff due to it being electronegative (as these are shifted further to the left)

#14
Front (Question)

what 3 census questions do you ask each H atom

Back (Answer)

• describe position of an atom which it lives (shift) • how many H are on that atom (integration number) • say how many chemically different hydrogen atoms live on adjacent/neighbour atoms (number of peaks = n + 1)
