Q

What is the formula for IHD?

A

IHD = 2x+2-y / 2

18
Q

What is HNMR?

A

The typical proton chemical proton shift relative to TMS

18
Q

What is HNMR?

A

The typical proton chemical proton shift relative to TMS

19
Q

What do the number of peaks on HNMR data tell you?

A

The number of different chemical envirnoments

20
Q

Infrared spectroscoppy

A
  • Can be used to determine the structure of a molecule

- look at the wave number and compare to data booklet ( table 26)

21
Q

What does a strong intensity mean for the infrared data?

A

Strongly polar

22
Q

What does a weak intensity mean for the infrared data?

A

Weakly polar

23
Q

What can mass spec be used for?

A

Determine the Ar of an element and the structure of a compound

24
Q

What are the 4 stages of mass spec?

A

Ionisation – Acceleration of magnetic field – Deflection of magnetic field – Detection

25
Q

What does the peak furthest to the right tell us?

A

The Mr of the compound

26
Q

What does each peak to the left represents?

A

A fragment that has been lost
