Answer:
In the 1H NMR spectrum of ethanol three different signals are observed, this is due to the existence of 3 types of hydrogens with different chemical environment. Hydrogens A (3.57 ppm) are more screened than C (1.10 ppm) due to the presence of oxygen (electonegative atom that removes electron density). The chemical environment of hydrogen B (4.78 ppm), attached directly to oxygen, is also different by resonating at a frequency different from the previous ones.
The hydroxylic hydrogen produces a singlet, the pair of carbon hydrogens one give rise to a quadruplet and the three hydrogens of carbon two produce a triplet.
