In summary, NMR is a technique used to study the structure and composition of molecules by measuring the magnetic properties of their atomic nuclei. Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) is a solvent commonly used in organic chemistry and industrial processes, with a chemical formula of C4H9NO. CDCl3, or deuterated chloroform, is a solvent commonly used in NMR spectroscopy, allowing researchers to study the molecular structure and dynamics of DMAC in a solvent environment. NMR of Dimethylacetamide in CDCl3 works by applying a strong magnetic field to a sample of DMAC dissolved in CDCl3, causing the atomic nuclei in the sample to resonate at different frequencies and providing valuable information for understanding the behavior of

Homework Statement


I have a spectra of the NMR, I'm just confused on where to `zero' the spectra at?

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


There are two peaks around zero in the spectra (one is bigger than the other but not by much). Also the two peaks are much much smaller than the peaks I know are Dimethylacetamide. I just don't know where to zero it.

Any help is appreciated

So, you didn't put any TMS in your CDCl3?

We used 3% TMA?
 

1. What is NMR?

NMR stands for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, which is a technique used to study the structure and composition of molecules by measuring the magnetic properties of their atomic nuclei.

2. What is Dimethylacetamide?

Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) is a solvent commonly used in organic chemistry and industrial processes. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a chemical formula of C4H9NO.

3. What is CDCl3?

CDCl3, or deuterated chloroform, is a solvent commonly used in NMR spectroscopy. It has a similar chemical structure to chloroform, but its hydrogen atoms have been replaced with deuterium atoms, making it more stable and less reactive.

4. Why is NMR of Dimethylacetamide in CDCl3 important?

NMR of Dimethylacetamide in CDCl3 is important because it allows researchers to study the molecular structure and dynamics of DMAC in a solvent environment. This can provide valuable information for understanding the behavior of DMAC in various chemical reactions and processes.

5. How does NMR of Dimethylacetamide in CDCl3 work?

NMR of Dimethylacetamide in CDCl3 works by applying a strong magnetic field to a sample of DMAC dissolved in CDCl3. This causes the atomic nuclei in the sample to resonate at different frequencies, which can be detected and analyzed to provide information about the chemical structure and environment of the DMAC molecules.
