Use chemical shift data from the Data Booklet to sketch the high resolution proton nmr spectrum for ethanol. The peaks do not overlap. Explain the number of peaks, their splitting pattern and the ratio of the areas under each set of peaks


(use this to identify the peaks)

M1 _______ (proton / hydrogen) environments NOTE: This must be stated. (1)

M2 _______ singlet and _______ triplet and _______ quartet (1)

M3 Splitting is due to (_______ ) rule (1)

M4 (Area ratios of peaks) _______ : _______ : _______ relative order and consistent with CH3CH2OH Can be shown on annotated (displayed) formula of ethanol (1)

M5 (Chemical shift values, δ, in ppm) Give the environment number

_______ = 2.0 - 4.0,

_______ = 0.1 - 1.9,

_______ = 3.0 - 4.2

Allow any single value, or range of values, within these ranges


Consider the reaction CH₃COOC₂H₅ + CH₃OH → CH₃COOCH₃ + C₂H₅OH. This is an example of:
Acylation
Hydrolysis
Substitution
esterification
When a vegetable oil such as palm oil is hydrolysed, the alcohol produced is:
propan-1-ol
Propane-1,2-diol
Propane-1,3-diol
Propane-1,2,3-triol
Which of the following types of radiation can directly result in bond breaking?
Infrared
Microwave
Radio wave
Ultraviolet
The first steps of two different reaction mechanisms are shown. What do both reaction mechanism steps have in common?

They involve addition
They involve substitution
As one bond is made, one bond is broken
The attack is on a planar group.
Only one of the first steps
Leads to the formation of a racemic mixture
Involves initial attack by a nucleophile
Involves initial attack by an electrophile
Leads to an elimination

Chromatography is used to separate the components of a mixture and can be carried out in a range of different ways.

(a) A suitable example of a 'carrier gas' in gas chromatography is:
A. chlorine
B. nitrogen
C. steam
D. not possible to state, as there should be a vacuum.
Separation is achieved in gas chromatography due to the components in the mixture having different:
A. interactions with the stationary phase
B. interactions with the mobile phase
C. colours
D. solubility in the moving solvent.
