The question is asking about the NMR of the monomer, which is 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid... i.e. (CH3)2C(OH)COOH, which has 3 x 1H and 3 x 13C environments.View attachment 40931
Also shouldnt this be A instead of B as there is only 1 hydrogen environment?
You need to put in light of a wavelength that will be absorbed (so 625 nm rather than 510 nm) and then measure the intensity the remains after passing through the sample.View attachment 40930
I am a bit confused for this cause as im not sure how the wavelength for the peak intensity is used as a distance for measuring
wait sorry, but I thought the H atom of an OH group won't split into its own signal on a proton nmr?The question is asking about the NMR of the monomer, which is 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid... i.e. (CH3)2C(OH)COOH, which has 3 x 1H and 3 x 13C environments.
It's still an H environment that will give rise to a signal, whether it is involved in splitting or not.wait sorry, but I thought the H atom of an OH group won't split into its own signal on a proton nmr?
ohh is this why the hydrogen on an amine shows up but doesn't split?It's still an H environment that will give rise to a signal, whether it is involved in splitting or not.
In this monomer, none of the H environments are close enough for splitting to happen.
Yes, every H environment should appear. Alcohol and amine signals can be broaden and look unlike a typical signal, but they should still appear. The reasons for these atypical features are beyond the syllabus.ohh is this why the hydrogen on an amine shows up but doesn't split?
