Give the structure that corresponds to the following molecular formula and 1H NMR spectrum: C4H10O2: δ 1.36 (3H, d, J = 5.5 Hz);

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

For the determination of a structure through its NMR it is necessary to know its molecular formula as well as the delta values, its coupling and the shift of each signal.

The separation produced is called coupling constant J and is measured in Hz. If the split is produced by two equal protons (equal J) a triple signal known as triplet is produced and if produced by three equal protons, the signal is quadruple and is known as quadruplet. The magnitude of the coupling is varied, depending on the relative disposition of the coupled protons (elevations that separate them, arrangement, spatial arrangement)

OH CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 OH

(A) (B) (C)

1,4-butanediol

In the case of the molecule to study the signal at 1.36 shows a doublet, which corresponds to the hydrogen (C), is split in two for each different proton on the same carbon or on neighboring carbons.

At 3.32 ocurrs a singlet, wich belong to hidrogen (B). The last signal is a quintet, at 4.63 belonging to the hydrogen (C)

Explanation

Nuclear magnetic resonance NMR is a physical phenomenon based on the mechanical-quantum properties of atomic nuclei. NMR also refers to the family of scientific methods that explore this phenomenon to study molecules, macromolecules, as well as tissues and whole organisms.

NMR takes advantage of the fact that atomic nuclei resonate at a frequency directly proportional to the force of a magnetic field exerted, in accordance with the Larmor precession frequency equation, to subsequently disturb this alignment with the use of an alternating magnetic field, of orthogonal orientation.

The behavior of the nuclei in the magnetic field can be influenced in multiple ways, to give different types of information, but the basic information obtained is:

Frequency at which each particular nuclei comes out, displacement.
Number of nucleis of each type, integral.
Number and arrangement of nearby nuclei, multiplicity.

Perform the calculation and record the answer with the correct number of significant figures.

kotykmax [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A. (6.5-6.10)/3.19

B. (34.123 + 9.60) / (98.7654 - 9.249)

Answer:

For A: The answer becomes 0.1

For B: The answer becomes 0.4884

Explanation:

Significant figures are defined as the figures present in a number that expresses the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy.

Rules for the identification of significant figures:

Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 664, 6.64 and 66.4 all have three significant figures.
All zeros between the integers are always significant. For example: 5018, 5.018 and 50.18 all have four significant figures.
All zeros preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.00058 has two significant figures.
All zeros after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 2.500, 25.00 and 250.0 all have four significant figures.
All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example: 10000 has one significant figure.

Rule applied for addition and subtraction:

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

Rule applied for multiplication and division:

In case of multiplication and division, the number of significant digits is taken from the value which has least precise significant digits

For A: (6.5-6.10)/3.19

This a a problem of subtraction and division.

First, the subtraction is carried out.

$\Rightarow \frac{6.5-6.10}{3.19}=\frac{0.4}{3.19}$

Here, the least precise number after decimal was 1.

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.4}{3.19}=0.125$

Here, the least precise number of significant digit is 1. So, the answer becomes 0.1

For B: (34.123 + 9.60) / (98.7654 - 9.249)

This a a problem of subtraction, addition and division.

First, the subtraction and addition is carried out.

$\Rightarow \frac{34.123+9.60}{98.7654-9.249}=\frac{43.723}{89.5164}=\frac{43.72}{89.516}$

Here, the least precise number after decimal in addition are 2 and in subtraction are 3

$\Rightarrow \frac{43.72}{89.516}=0.48840$

Here, the least precise number of significant digit are 4. So, the answer becomes 0.4884

Which material does not melt at any temperature?

lord [1]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Wood is a mixture of different substances. Primarily it consists of cellulose, lignin, water etc.

When we heat wood then all these substance oxidize into the atmosphere even before they could melt.

Whereas iron, sodium chloride and ethanol all are the substances which can melt at any temperature.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, wood, a mixture of different substances is a material that does not melt at any temperature.
