The 1H-NMR of a compound with molecular formula C6H12O2 consists of four signals: 1.1 (triplet, integrating to 3 Hydrogens), 1.2
Tamiku [17]

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.

Ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.

Upon combustion, a 0.8009 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produces 1.6004 g CO2 and 0.6551 g
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

C2H4O

Explanation:

We can get the answer through calculations as follows.

From the mass of carbon iv oxide produced, we can get the number of moles of carbon produced. We first divide the mass by the molar mass of carbon iv oxide. The molar mass of carbon iv oxide is 44g/mol

The number of moles of carbon iv oxide is 1.6004/44 = 0.0364

Since there is only one carbon atom in CO2, the number of moles of carbon is same as above

The mass of carbon in the compound is simply the number of moles multiplied by the atomic mass unit. The atomic mass unit of carbon is 12. The mass of carbon in the compound is thus 12 * 0.0364= 0.4368g

From the number of moles of water, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen. To get the number of moles of water, we need to divide the mass of water by its molar mass. Its molar mass is 18g/mol. The number of moles here is thus 0.6551/18 = 0.0364 mole

But there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in 1 mole of water and thus, the number of moles of hydrogen is 2 * 0.0364= 0.0728

The mass of hydrogen is thus 0.0728* 1 = 0.0728g

The mass of oxygen equals the mass of the compound minus that of hydrogen and that of carbon.

= 0.8009 - 0.0728 - 0.4368 = 0.2913 mole

The number of moles of oxygen is the mass of oxygen divided by its atomic mass unit.

That equals 0.2913/16 = 0.0182 mole

The empirical formula can be obtained by dividing the number of moles of each by the smallest which is that of carbon and oxygen 0.0182

H = 0.0728/0.0182 = 4

C= 0.0364/0.0182 = 2

O= 0.0182/0.0182= 1

The empirical formula is thus C2H4O
