Q
if a question asks for non active nmr nuclei, what are we looking for?

spectrometer?
omega = v-vo (Hz)
delta = (v-vo)/vo x 10^6
delta = omega/vo x 10^6
delta x vo = omega x 10^6
(delta x vo) / 10^6 = omega
3.5 x 500.4 / 10^6 = omega mhz
we need to consider changing 500.4MHz to Hz
(3.5 x 500.4 x 10^6 )/ 10^6 = omega Hz = 1751.4 Hz

35

delta = (v-vo)/vo x 10^6
delta = omega/vo x 10^6
delta x vo = omega x 10^6
(delta x vo) / 10^6 = omega
8.1 x 400.4 / 10^6 = omega mhz
we need to consider changing 400.4MHz to Hz
(8.1 x 400.4 x 10^6 )/ 10^6 = omega Hz = 3243.2 Hz
