The 13C NMR spectrum of fluoroethanoic acid shows a multiplet centred at δ = 79. When the same spectrum is recorded using proton decoupling, the multiplet collapses to a doublet with a splitting of 160 Hz. Another multiplet, but with much smaller splittings, is also seen centred at δ =179; this multiplet collapses to a doublet when decoupling is used. Explain these observations.
The 13C NMR spectrum of ethanoic acid (acetic acid) shows a quartet centred at δ = 21 with a splitting of 130 Hz. When the same spectrum is recorded using proton decoupling, the multiplet collapses to a single line. Another quartet, but with a much smaller spacing, is also seen centred at δ =178; this quartet collapses when decoupling is used. Explain these observations.

The NMR spectrum of a compound can reveal whether the atoms within the molecule are equivalent or different. For example, the hydrogen atoms in CH2=CH2 are equivalent: they all exist in an identical environment. However, in CH2=CHCI, the two hydrogen atoms attached to the same carbon atom are equivalent, but different from the hydrogen atom on the other carbon atom. Predict how many different types of hydrogen atoms can be identified in the 1H NMR spectrum of each of the following molecules: (а) C2H2 (b) cis-C2H2C12 (c) trans-C2H2Cl2 (d) CH3OH In the molecule C2H5C1, the hydrogen atoms would all be different if the (e) molecule existed in only one conformation. However, only two types of hydrogen atoms are detected. Propose an explanation.
A student needs to prepare a ¹H NMR sample for an organic compound soluble in chloroform (CHCI3). The student cannot use CHCI 3 as the solvent for the sample, but rather uses deuterated chloroform (CDC13) because: O CDC13 is more polar. O CDC13 will not produce a signal in the ¹H NMR spectrum, and therefore will not mask the signals of the compound. O The compound will be more soluble in CDCI 3. O CDC13 is cheaper than CHCI 3.
