C32.1 Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy AQA A2 Chemistry C32 Structure Determination: Page No. 231
1 a A single peak b Both carbon atoms are in exactly the same environment. 2 The upper one is propan-1-ol, as it three peaks because all three carbon atoms arc in difrerent environments. The lower one is propan-2-ol, as it has two peaks because there arc carbon atoms in just two different environments.32.2 Proton NMR AQA A2 Chemistry C32 Structure Determination : Page No. 233
1 a Isomers have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms in space. b c i propan-1-ol 4 ii propan-2-ol? 3 d i propan-1-ol A3;B2;C2; D1 ii propan-2-ol?

- OR more effective/beneficial with a reason
- May be side effects from one enantiomer in the mixture
- OR only half the product works or one enantiomer may be ineffective
- OR double dose required
