1.5 Revision self assessment

Question 1:

What is the expected integral ratio?

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 Correct - Well done
 Incorrect : Don't forget you have to calculate the ratio from the division numbers
 Incorrect - Try again
Feedback Graphic 
Question 2:

What would the expected integral ratio calculated from a 1H-NMR spectra for this compound be?

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 Incorrect - The ratio has to be whole numbers
 Correct - Well done.  There are those hydrogens associated with the benzene ring (aromatic hydrogens) and those associated with the methane group (benzyleic hydrogens)
 Incorrect - Remember integral ratios provides information on the number of hydrogens associated with each functional group.

Question 3:

What is the functional group represented by A

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 

Incorrect - Ethers generally have a peak responses between 3.2 and 3.8ppm

 Correct - It is a benzene ring
 Incorrect - Saturated hydrogens such as Methyl hydrogens generally have a peak response between 0.7 and 1.3ppm
Feedback Graphic 
Question 4:

What is the functional group represented by A

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 Incorrect : Esters generally have chemical shift values lower or greater than 3.5 ppm
 Incorrect : Aromatic rings generally have a greater chemical shift value around 6.5 to 8 ppm
 Correct - The functional group is an ether
Feedback Graphic 
Question 5:

Try and match up the functional groups (red, blue and black) with the corresponding group of peaks on the NMR spectra (A, B or C)

CH3 (Red)
CH2 (Blue)
CH2 (Black)
 

If you have 3 out of 3 well done you are CORRECT.  If not please read the notes below and try again

The functional group CH2 (black) is surrounded by 4 hydrogens, therefore following the n + 1 rule corresponds to a quintet

The functional group CH2 (blue) has 5 neighbouring hydrogens there it corresponding signal has 6 peaks

There are two terminal CH3 (red) which gives rise to the higher peak heights.  They are surrounded by only 2 neighbouring hydrogens therefore there signal is a triplet

 <P>There are two&nbsp;terminal CH<SUB>3</SUB> (red) which gives rise to the higher peak heights.&nbsp; They are surrounded by only 2 neighbouring hydrogens therefore there signal is a triplet</P>
 <P>The functional group CH<SUB>2</SUB> (blue) has 5 neighbouring hydrogens there it corresponding signal has 6 peaks</P>
 <P>The functional group CH<SUB>2</SUB> (black)&nbsp;is surrounded by 4 hydrogens, therefore following the n + 1 rule corresponds to a quintet</P>

Question 6:

Match the functional groups (red and blue) with there corresponding clusters of peaks (A or B) on the NMR spectra

CH2 (Blue)
CH3 (Red)
 

If you have 2 out of 2 - Well done you are CORRECT

The CH2 (blue) functional group has a higher chemical shift value than normal because of the deshielding effect of the nitrogen.  It has 3 neighbouring hydrogens and is represented by a quadruplet

The CH3 (red) functional group has a lower chemical shift and is represented by a triplet on the spectra which represents the 2 neighbouring hydrogens

You have got one answer wrong - look at the notes below and try again

The CH2 (blue) functional group has a higher chemical shift value than normal because of the deshielding effect of the nitrogen.  It has 3 neighbouring hydrogens and is represented by a quadruplet

The CH3 (red) functional group has a lower chemical shift and is represented by a triplet on the spectra which represents the 2 neighbouring hydrogens

Question 7:

How many proton types are found in ethane?

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 Correct - Although there are multiple hydrogen atoms they are all equivalents
 Incorrect - All the hydrogens in ethane are equivalents
 

Incorrect - Six it the total number of hydrogen molecule present

Feedback Graphic 
Question 8:

How many proton groups are there in triethylamine?

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 Incorrect - Try again
 Correct - The three branches off the nitrogen all contain the same funtctional groups
 Incorrect - The three branches of the nitrogen do not contain just 1 chemical equivalents
Feedback Graphic 
Question 9:

What compound is represented by the spectra above

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 

Correct - Well done

Notice the slight dissociation of the peaks associated with the benzene ring due to the deshielding effect of the ketone group.  The two hydrogens adjacent to the ketone group have a slightly higher chemical shift value

 Incorrect - Please try again
 Incorrect - Please try again
Feedback Graphic 
Question 10:

What compound does the above proton NMR spectra represent

Feedback GraphicA:
Feedback GraphicB:
Feedback GraphicC:
 Incorrect - Please try again
 Correct - well done
 Incorrect - please try again
