True or false? The more densely the molecules are packed in the medium that light travels through, the faster the speed.
False. The more densely the molecules are packed in the medium that light travels through, the slower the speed. This is why the speed of light in a vacuum is 3 x 10^8 m/s, whereas in Water, it is only 2.25 x 10^8 m/s!
195
You produce a beautiful IR spectra and notice that there is 100 percent transmittance in some areas but not in others. What is happening in those areas that do not have 100 percent transmittance?
At that wavelength of light, 100 percent of the wave is not being transmitted through the compound because it is being absorbed by a bond causing it to stretch.

Compare the Diagnostic Region and the Fingerprint Region of an IR Spectra.
The Diagnostic Region of an IR Spectra occurs above a wavenumber of 1500. It is useful for identifying which functional groups are present in a compound. The Fingerprint Region of an IR Spectra occurs below a wavenumber of 1500. It is not especially useful for determining functional groups, but every compound has a unique fingerprint region, which can allow you to exactly identify a compound given the proper tools.

(A) I \< II \< III In order of lowest wavenumber to highest wavenumber: Csp3-H \< Csp2-H \< Csp-H. This is due to increasing s character in the bonds.
199
A given compound has 10 hydrogens. There are 4 peaks with integration values of 57.6, 11.3, 11.4, and 35.6. How many hydrogens are associated with the peak that has an integration value of 57.6? (A) 3 (B) 4 (C) 5 (D) 6
(C) 5 I would notice that the lowest value is 11.3, which when divided by the total gives you a value close to .1; thus, I would know that this peak corresponds to 1/10th of the total hydrogens (10). Representing a single hydrogen. Because 57.6 is about 5 times larger, it must represent 5 hydrogens.

What if you are given the integration values of 27.1, 40.1 and 40.9? What is the likely ratio of protons in each of the three groups? (A) 1:2:2 (B) 2:3:3 (C) 3:4:4 (D) 27:40:41
(B) 2:3:3 Looking at this, I can round these numbers off to 27, 40.5 and 40.5, and I see that if you divide by a factor of 13.5, you can see a 2:3:3 ratio. You could also try dividing 40.1 by 27.1, and get about 3/2.

What is Splitting and when does it result? Describe what is the cause of Splitting.
Splitting is the splitting of a peak that occurs when you have nonequivalent protons next to each other. It is caused by the idea that the environment of a proton will be different when the neighboring proton is in its β versus α state.
202
Match the number of peaks with the number of Hydrogens associated with each peak pattern, assuming there is splitting occurring. I. Triplet II. Doublet III. Quintet (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4
I. Triplet (B) 2 II. Doublet (A) I III. Quintet (D) 4
203
True or false? If you see a singlet, there cannot be any splitting of that Hydrogen.
True. If you see a singlet, there cannot be any splitting of that Hydrogen.
204
Which of the following compounds could appear on an NMR? I. C-14 II. O-15 III. S-32 (A) I only (B) II only (C) I and III only (D) I, II and III
(B) II only To appear on an NMR, an atom must have an odd mass number, an odd atomic number, or both. Only O-15 meets either of these criteria.
205
Based on the previous description of what makes molecules sensitive to NMR, what is the Carbon Isotope used for Carbon NMR?
Carbon-13, since it has an odd mass number.
206
# Fill in the blanks: Because a double bond is ______________ than a single bond, it requires (a) ______________ to vibrate the bond, which means there is ___________ energy needed to cause that vibration. (A) Longer, more force, more (B) Stiffer, less force, less (C) Stiffer, higher wavenumber, more (D) More elastic, lower wavenumber, less
(C) Stiffer, higher wavenumber, more Because a double bond is Stiffer than a single bond, it requires a higher wavenumber to vibrate the bond, which means there is More energy needed to cause that vibration.
207
CRB True or false? If the Hydrogen in the Carboxylic Acid were replaced by Tritium (Hydrogen with an atomic mass of 3), then the O-T bond would have a higher wavenumber than the original O-H bond.
False. If the Hydrogen in the Carboxylic Acid were replaced by Tritium (Hydrogen with an atomic mass of 3), then the O-T bond would have a lower wavenumber than the original O-H bond. This is because a more massive atom will vibrate more slowly and at lower frequencies.
208
CRB Kyrie is having a tough time remembering that a heavier atom will have a lower stretching frequency (wavenumber). Can you think of an easier to remember example?
The easiest way to remember this is by comparing C-H and C-C bonds. C-H bonds have a wavenumber near 3000 cm^-1, whereas C-C bonds are in the fingerprint region below1500 cm^-1.
209
Since having a heavier atom leads to a lower wavenumber, what type of relationship do atomic weight and wavenumbers have? (A) Linear (B) Positive Correlation (C) Exponential (D) Negative Correlation
(D) Negative Correlation Since an increase in one factor leads to a decrease in the other, this is a negative correlation.
210
Since a stiffer bond leads to a higher wavenumber, what type of relationship do wavenumbers and bond stiffness have? (A) Linear (B) Positive Correlation (C) Exponential (D) Negative Correlation
(B) Positive Correlation Since an increase in one will lead to an increase in the other, this is a positive correlation.
211
CRB True or false? A more conjugated compound will be even more stable, so it will need more energy (shorter wavelengths) to be excited than less conjugated compounds.
False. A more conjugated compound will be more stable than less conjugated systems if one electron pair is excited above ground state, so it can use less energy (longer wavelengths) to be excited.
212
A certain compound has a peak on an IR-Spectrum around 530 nm (green). What color do you expect this compound to be?
You'd expect the compound to be red since it's complimentary color, green, is what is being absorbed.
213
Thus, what is the relationship between wavelength and conjugation? How does this relate to color?
The greater the conjugation, the higher the wavelength. The higher the wavelength, the less likely for the wavelength to be UV light and more likely to be in the visible light spectrum.
214
A Proton can be viewed as a tiny magnet, which means it has a magnetic field. You are looking down on a proton and notice that it is spinning in a counter-clockwise direction. In which direction does the magnetic field point? (A) Counter-clockwise (B) Clockwise (C) Away from you (D) Towards you
(D) Towards you This can be determined using the right-hand rule.
215
Proton A is more deshielded than Proton B. Which proton will appear farther downfield in an NMR Spectra? (A) Proton A because going from the α to the β state will take more energy than with Proton B. (B) Proton A because going from the α to the β state will take less energy than with Proton B. (C) Proton B because going from the α to the β state will take more energy than with Proton A. (D) Proton B because going from the α to the β state will take less energy than with Proton A.
(A) Proton A because going from the α to the β state will take more energy than with Proton B. Proton A is more deshielded, resulting in a greater βeff, which results in a greater energy difference between the α and the β state, which results in a greater energy required. Greater energy corresponds to a higher frequency, which is farther downfield in an NMR Spectra.
216
When speaking about NMR, what does it mean to say that protons are "chemically equivalent"? How does this relate to how they will appear in an NMR Spectra?
To say that protons are "chemically equivalent" is to say that the protons are in the same magnetic environment. These protons will therefore correspond to the same, single peak in an IR Spectra.
217
How many signals would you expect to result from propane on an NMR Spectra? (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4
(B) 2 Propane has 8 protons total, with 2 being in one magnetic environment and 6 being in another. Because there are two magnetic environments, propane will display two peaks in an NMR Spectra.
218
How many signals would you expect to result from 1-propanol on an NMR Spectra? (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4
(D) 4 1-Propanol has 8 total protons in four different environments: 2 on carbon 1, 2 on carbon 2, 3 on carbon 3, and the final one bound to the oxygen. Because there are 4 magnetic environments, propanol will display 4 peaks on an NMR spectra.
219
Use hybridization to explain why alkenes are more deshielded than alkanes.
Alkenes are sp2-hybridized, giving them more s character than the sp3-hybridized orbitals of alkanes. sp2 orbitals have greater s-character and correspond with being closer to the nucleus and having greater electron density, which would result in greater deshielding of a nearby proton.
