A sample of dichloromethane has been contaminated with some 2,2-dichloropropane. The NMR spectrum of this sample shows two signals, one at 5.2 ppm and one at 1.9 ppm, corresponding to these two compounds respectively. The integrals of the two signals equate to 1:9 respectively. What is the mole percent of each compound in the mixture, or phrasing it another way, what percentage of the mixture is dichloromethane and what percentage is 2,2-dichloropropane?
