What is the total number of distinct 13C NMR signals that may be observed for the product, methyl-3-nitrobenzoate, and for the reactant, methylbenzoate?What is the total number of distinct 13C NMR signals that may be observed for the product, methyl-3-nitrobenzoate, and for the reactant, methylbenzoate?

See explaination

Explanation:

methyl-3-nitrobenzoate = 3-NO2-C6H4-COOCH3

Singlet at 4 ppm = CH3 from ester (COOCH3)

Triplet at 7.6 ppm = Aromatic, H5 proton

Doublet at 8.2 ppm - Aromatic, H4 and H6 protons

Singlet at 8.8 ppm - Aromatic, H2 proton

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
