    C-13 NMR and GC of 3-Pentanol and 2-Pentene

    A) Why is GC not able to distinguish between the trans vs. cis-2-pentene products? b) Explain why the 3-pentanol 13C-NMR spectrum contains three peaks while the trans and cis-2-pentene spectra contain five peaks (note that 13C-NMR gives a peak for each unique carbon, i.e. identical carbons show up as the same peak).

    Solvent for Industrial Processes

    A solvent for an industrial process requires the use of phenol or benzene. Both are about the same in effectiveness for the process, and of course, gloves will be used when handling either solvent. As an environmental safety officer for the company, which one would you recommend the use of and why? Also what set-up would you rec

    Evaporation and Its Effects on PCP and Cresol

    We are asked to explain the phenomena of how 1 gram of liquid water at 35 degrees C (as in a pond or lake) evaporating into an overlying air mass at a temp of 65 degrees C and a relative humidity of 50%.

    18-O and 16-O Isotope Effects in Infrared Spectroscopy

    The Pt compound below shows an infrared band at 822 cm-1 that has been attributed to the O-O stretching mode. This is the mode where the O atoms move away from each other and the Pt-O stretching is not significant. If you approximate the O-O unit as a harmonic oscillator, where would you expect the 18-O compound to absorb? K

    Fractional Distillation and Reflux Ratios
