Why is TMS a good solvent in terms of other compounds' solubility in it?
Organic compounds are very soluble in TMS
CH3-CH2-CH3
Name the splitting pattern of the hydrogen on the 2nd carbon
multiplet
Unit of chemical shift
ppm (parts per million)
Formula for TMS
Si(CH3)4
2,2-dimethyl propane
name the splitting pattern of the 2nd carbon in the propane chain
no signals (dummy)
Symbol for chemical shift
delta
Why is TMS being inert a good thing?
Doesn't react with sample compound
The rule used to predict the splitting of a signal
n + 1 rule
Direction of "downfield"
and reason
Appearance: Large singlet peak at 0 ppm
Reason: All hydrogen atoms in same environment and no adjacent hydrogen atoms
After how many peaks can the splitting pattern be classified as a multiplet
after 4 peaks (quartet)
which one has a higher shift, hydrogen attached to an aldehyde carbon or a hydrogen attached to an alkane carbon
aldehyde carbon
Why is TMS being volatile a good thing?
Easy to remove from sample
