The 1H-NMR of a compound with molecular formula C6H12O2 consists of four signals: 1.1 (triplet, integrating to 3 Hydrogens), 1.2

(doublet, integrating to 6 Hydrogens), 2.3 (quartet, integrating to 2 Hydrogens) and 5.0 (septet, integrating to 1 Hydrogen). Propose a structural formula for this compound consistent with this information.

Answer:

Isopropyl propionate  

Explanation:

1. Information from formula

The formula is C₆H₁₂O₂. A six-carbon alkane would have the formula C₆H₁₄. The deficiency of two H atoms indicates the presence of either a ring or a double bond.

2. Information from the spectrum

(a) Triplet-quartet

A 3H triplet and a 2H quartet is the classic pattern for a CH₃CH₂- (ethyl) group

(b) Septet-doublet

A 1H septet and a 6H doublet is the classic pattern for a -CH(CH₃)₂ (isopropyl) group

(c) The rest of the molecule

The ethyl and isopropyl groups together add up to C₇H₁₂.

The rest of the molecule must have the formula CO₂ and one unit of unsaturation. That must be a C=O group.

The compound is either

CH₃CH₂-COO-CH(CH₃)₂ or (CH₃)₂CH-COO-CH₂CH₃.

(d) Well, which is it?

The O atom of the ester function should have the greatest effect on the H atom on the adjacent carbon atom.

The CH of an isopropyl is normally at 1.7. The adjacent O atom should pull it down perhaps 3.2 units to 4.9.  

The CH₂ of an ethyl group is normally at 1.2. The adjacent O atom should pull it down to about 4.4.

We see a signal at 5.0 but none near 4.4. The compound is isopropyl propionate.

3. Summary

My peak assignments are shown in the diagram below.

Use your understanding of the ideal gas law to
PolarNik [594]

Answer:The ideal gas law is represented mathematically as: PV=nRT. P- pressure, V- volume, n-number of moles of gas, R- ideal gas constant, T- temperature.

Explanation:The ideal gas law is used as a prediction of the behavior of many gases, when subjected to different conditions.

he ideal gas law has so many limitations.

An increase in the pressure or volume, decreases the number of moles and temperature of the gas.

Empirical laws that led to generation of the ideal gas laws, considered two variables and keeping the others constant. This empirical laws include, Boyle's law, Charles's law, Gay Lusaac's law and Avogadro's law.

Boron is to the immediate left of carbon in the same row in the periodic table. Which of the following statements compares the r
natita [175]

Answer:

Boron has a larger radius and the protons in carbon exert more pull.

Explanation:

Remember than elements have greater radius as they are closer to the bottom left corner, so boron would have the larger radius here. Carbon has a smaller radius, which makes it easier for the protons in carbon to exert more pull.
