Chapter 20, Problem 51P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of compound that has molecular formula C4H6O2 is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiations.

Proton NMR spectroscopy identifies the number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule and the nature of the functional group.

The value of chemical peaks depends upon the chemical environment around the hydrogen atom.

Q 1(a) Methane, CH4 is a tetrahedral molecule and does not exhibit a permanent dipole moment (i.e. it has a dipole moment of 0). Nonetheless, in microwave spectroscopy methane does exhibit a weak, but measurable absorbance. Explain why you think this is the case? Q 1(b) The diatomic molecule 12C32S has been detected in interstellar gas clouds by microwave spectroscopy. The masses of the two atoms are C = 12.00 amu and S= 31.972 amu and 12C32S has an equilibrium bond length of 1.534 Å. Predict which rotational transition in 12C32S will have the greatest population at a temperature of 85 K.
13C NMR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the environments of a molecule's carbon atoms. Since carbon atoms are often connected to hydrogen atoms, which could split the carbon signal through spin-spin coupling, the coupling between C and H is often "turned off" through the use of broadband decoupling, causing each C signal to appear as a singlet. Draw an isomer of C5H11Cl that would be expected to have four resonances in its 13C NMR spectra.
