    NMR Spectroscopy - Solve the structure of unknown A

    Hi, I have some data to help me solve a structure via High Resolution NMR, however being new to this, I am having extreme difficulty, and was wondering if someone could help please - or even point me in the right direction as how to go about solving for structure A? A has a molecular formula: C12H15O4N. The 13CNMR data sh

    Analytical Chemistry: Making a Stock Solution

    A chemistry student is about to make a stock solution of 0.1 molar HCl. He proceeds by adding two 10mL additions of 10M HCL to a 500mL beaker and fill it with water from the sink. Other than not using di-ionized water, what are all other problems associated with this procedure. **No other information given**
