Consider the 1H NMR spectrum for the following compound: CH3CH2CH3
Predict the first-order splitting patterns of the indicated proton. This question uses specific splitting patterns instead of the often used generic term "multiplet."
a. doublet of quartets
b. triplet of triplets
c. septet
d. quartet of quartets
e. quintet

See explanation

Explanation:

In this case, we have to check the neighbors of each carbon in the molecule. In propane, we have two types of carbons (see figure 1) (blue and red ones). The red carbons are equivalent. (Both have the same neighbors). Now, we can analyze each carbon:

Blue carbon

In the blue carbon, we have 6 hydrogens neighbors (three on each methyl). If we follow the n+1 rule, we will have:

6+1= 7

For the blue carbon, we will have a Septet.

Red carbons

In the red carbon, we have only 2 neighbors (the carbon in the middle only have 2 hydrogens). If we follow the n+1 rule, we will have:

2+1=3

For the red carbon, we will have a triplet.

See figure 2

I hope it helps!

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

sure im new too!
