TMS stands for Tetramethylsilane
Formula : Si(CH₃)₄
It is used as internal standard for chemical shift
In TMS all the four methyl groups are similar thus all the 12 hydrogen are chemically equivalent. They will show proton NMR at same level and which will appear as a singlet.
We have defined this singlet to be as reference set as zero.
Generally the other organic compounds show chemical shift downfield.So have positive chemical shift with respect to TMS shift.
If you’re referring to he red stuff- the liquids can be ethanol, toluene, kerosene, or isoamyl acetate. They’re transparent so they’re made more visible with red dye. (So I’d guess the answer is ethanol)
I found this in the Wikipedia article ‘Alcohol thermometer’
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Acetals are geminal-diether derivatives of aldehydes or ketones, formed by reaction with two equivalents (or an excess amount) of an alcohol and elimination of water. Ketone derivatives of this kind were once called ketals, but modern usage has dropped that term.
To achieve effective hemiacetal or acetal formation, two additional features must be implemented. First, an acid catalyst must be used because alcohol is a weak nucleophile and second the water produced with the acetal must be removed from the reaction.
