what is nmr and what is it used for
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
used to analyse organic molecules
what are the 2 diff types of nmr spectroscopy
carbon-13
tells how carbon atoms are arranged
hydrogen-1 / proton
tells how hydrogen atoms are arranged
rules for both types of the nmr
1) number of peaks
- tells us how many non equivalent environments there are
2) chemical shift
measure of energy difference depends on what is near by to the environment
rules for just proton nmr
also high res proton nmr
1) intergration trace
area under graph is equal to the number of hydrogen atoms
2) splitting pattern
singlet - one peak
no neighboring hydrogen
doublet - two peak
one neighboring hydrogen
triplet - three peak
2 neighboring hydrogen
quartet - four peak
3 neighboring hydrogen
multiplet - many peak
many neighboring hydrogen each side
what considerations about solvents should be used in nmr
give 2 examples of solvent
mustn’t interfere with spectra
polar sample -polar solvent
CDCL3 d= heavy hydrogen
non polar sample - non polar solvent
tetrachloromethane
CCl4
whats used as the standard in nmr and why is it used
TMS
4 methyls around a silicon
all the hs and cs are in the same environment so make one peak
chemical shift value of 0 and everything else is compared to this
- it is also inert and wont react with sample creating confusing peaks
- highly volitile easy to seperate from the solution and reuse
- non toxic so cause no harm
key labels on the spectra
more up field to the right are more shielded
more downfield to the left are more deshielded
measuring change gas produced
use gas syringe
what does collision theory state
how can this effect rate of reaction
for a chemical reaction to take place the particles need to collide with each other in the correct orientation and with enough energy
if enough energy and correct orientation then there will be a successful collision
define activation energy
minimum amount of energy for reaction to take place
define a catalyst
catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without taking part in the chemical reaction by providing the particles an alternative mechanism with a lower activation energy
define rate of reaction
give units
the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place
mol dm-3 s-1
mol dm-3 min-1
factors affecting rate of reaction
temperature increase more particles with higher kinetic energy more frequent collisions and therefore higher probability of more successful collisions
concentration increase
result in an increased collision frequency and therefore an increased rate of reaction
pressure is increased
molecules have less space in which they can move
number of successful collisions increases due to an increased collision frequency
adding catalyst
decrease the ea of a reaction by providing alternative energy pathway
what do maxwell-boltzman distribution curves display
a graph that shows the distribution of particle energies at a certain temperature
describe key features of maxwell-boltzman distribution curves
large peak at lower energy this is the most probable energy
the right never touches x axis as its impossible for 0 particles can have high energy
the higher the temp the more particles with sufficient ea
whats the general rate equation
Rate = k * [A]m * [B]n
where m and n are the orders of reaction with respect to reactants A and B
k is the rate constant.
how are the orders represented in the rate eq using [ a ]
1st order = [ a ]
2nd order = [ a ]2
0 order = not written in rate eq
what are the only values for the orders and what do they look like on graphs
and what are the values on axis
1st order linear
2nd order exponential
0 order a strainght horizontal line
y axis = rate
x axis = conc of reactant
calculating k in rate equation
k = rate / conc of reactants to their powers
rate = mol dm-3s-1
conc = mol dm-3
overall units cancel out
working out orders from the list of numbers
1) identify a test where only one reactant changes
2) find out how much it changed by(2x 3x 4x 0.25x)
3) rate = multiple of change to the power of x
4) find how you would get from order to rate number
identifying orders when both conc are changing
1) identify the one condition where only one changes and work out the order for that reaction
2) look where both the conc change and then find the multiplication of both
3) multiply the known value factor by its power and then divide the rate factor by this value
4) now left with rate = [ B ]x figure out the x
two ways of expressing Arrhenius equation
k = Ae-EA/RT
ln k = ln A – EA/(RT)
what are the units for Arrhenius constant
the exact same as k
how to identify the rate determining step from reaction mechanism
Mechanism
Step 1 A + B ~> X + D fast
Step 2 X + C ~> Y slow
Step 3 Y + B ~> E fast
its the slow step so the rate equation would be
r = k[A] [B] [C]
as they appear once in the reactant side so will be first order and d appears once on each side so cancels out
