Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound with the empirical formula C9H10O is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The empirical formula of any chemical compound is shortest positive integer ratio of the atoms that are present in the compound. The empirical formula does not tell about the structure or the arrangement of atoms in the compound.

The arrangement of the molecules is depicted by the structural formula of the compound.

What is the capacity factor of peak A and peak B?
You are giving a talk at a professional meeting on the absorption spectrum of the HCl molecule (as shown), which has been obtained with a sample including molecules containing only the chlorine-35 atom, so that the double peaks as shown appear as single peaks. After discussing all of the information you can glean about the rotational motion of the molecules from the spectrum, you see a hand raised by a colleague from another university who always asks biting questions. He says, “That’s all well and good, but what about the vibration of the molecule; for example, what is the effective spring constant for the HCl molecule?” You are not upset in the slightest by this question because you prepared in advance for any questions you could think of. You immediately state a numerical value for the effective spring constant of the HCl molecule.
There are four structural isomers that are alcohols with the formula C4H9OH. (a) The numbers of peaks, and the areas under them, in the 1H NMR spectra of these alcohols can be used to identify them. i. Explain why the 1H NMR spectrum of (CH3)2CHCH2OH has four peaks. Predict the ratio of the areas under the peaks.  ii. Deduce the structure of the alcohol whose 1H NMR spectrum has two peaks with areas in the ratio 9:1.
