Chemistry Homework Solutions

Understanding absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, optical density, and oscillator strength. Using the Beer-Lambert law to calculate the intensity of light after passage through a sample.

Light of wavelength 256 nm passes through a 1 mm path length cell that contains a 0.05 M solution of benzene. The light is reduced to 16 percent of its initial value. Calculate the optical density and extinction coefficient of the sample. What would be the transmittance through a cell of path length 2 mm?

1H NMR spectrum for 4-phenylphenol

Refer to attached document. I have an 1H NMR spectrum of 4-phenylphenol (400 Mhz, CDCl3 solvent) and I have the spectrum assignment for the chemical shifts and corresponding protons. I would like an explanation of WHY each shift correspond with their particular protons. For instance, why are the protons adjacent to the pheno ...continues

Help Identifying Structure of compound for IR Spectroscopy Graphs

I have to answer questions about things like SODAR and chemical formula using IR Spectroscopy, Mass Spectroscopy, C NMR, and H NMR graphs for five unknown compounds. In order for me to answer the questions, I first need to determine which compound the graphs are describing. I know how to determine SODAR and chemical formulas, bu ...continues

1H NMR spectrum interpretation

I need to: provide an interpretation for all protons in the 1H NMR spectrum of 4-vinylbenzoic acid and indicate how the 1H NMR spectrum of the corresponding methyl ester would differ from that of the acid. On the 1H spectrum, I see a quartet around 6.8ppm which I don't know where it comes from, because I think it should be a ...continues
