Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Fatty acids when treated with NaOH or KOH forms Soap. This process is called as Saponification. Examples of Soap are as follow,

1. Sodium Stearate C₁₇H₃₅COONa

2. Potassium Oleate C₁₇H₃₃COOK

Reaction of Soap with MgCl₂;

When Soap is treated with MgCl₂ or CaCl₂ it forms insoluble precipitate called S.C.U.M. The reactions with MgCl₂ are as follow,

2C₁₇H₃₅COONa + MgCl₂ --------> 2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg + 2 NaCl

2C₁₇H₃₃COOK + MgCl₂ --------> 2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg + 2 KCl

These reaction are often found in hard water. And this reaction decreases the effectiveness of soap.

Choose the molecule(s) that will only show two signals, with an integration ratio of 2:3, in their 1H NMR spectrum.

mrs_skeptik [129]

The question is missing the molecules in which the integration ratio of 2:3 will be observed. The complete question is given in the attachment.

Answer:

Molecule (a), (c), and (f) will show two peaks with the integration ratio of 2:3 in their 1H NMR spectrum

Explanation:

In the 1H NMR spectrum, the peak area is dependent on the number of hydrogen in a specific chemical environment. Hence, the ratio of the integration of these signals provides us with the relative number of hydrogen in two peaks. This rationale is used for the assignment of molecules that will give 2:3 integration ratio in the given problem.

Molecule (a) have two CH₂ and three CH₃ groups. Hence, it will give two peaks and their integration ratio becomes 2:3 (Answer)
Molecule (b) contains three chemical environments for its hydrogen atoms
Molecule (c) have a single CH₂ and CH₃ group giving integration ratio of 2:3 (Answer)
Molecule (d) will give two peaks but their ratio will be 1:3 because of two hydrogens of CH₂ and six hydrogens from two CH₃ groups
Molecule (e) have three CH and three CH₃ groups, so their ratio will become 1:3
Molecule (f) contains four CH and two CH₃ groups, giving two peaks. So, the integration ratio of their peaks is 2:3 (Answer)
Molecules
(g)
and
(h)
both have two CH and two CH₃ groups giving two peaks with the integration ratio of 1:3
