*****************************************************************************************
Since more than sufficient time is given to you to work on each assignment, all assignments, must be turned in before the deadline for
submission as indicated for each assignment. Submissions made after the deadline but within 24 hrs after the deadline (i.e. a day late) may be
accepted; however, 10% of the marks that you obtained on the assignment will be deducted, as a penalty for late submission, to arrive at your
final score for that assignment. No assignment will be accepted after 24 hrs of the deadline (i.e. more than a day late) and you will lose all
credit for that assignment.

(‘g’ value for the hydrogen nucleus is 5.585 and the value of the nuclear magneton is 5.051 x 10-27 JT-1)
1. For a diatomic molecule the fundamental vibrational frequency was found to occur at 2885.31 cm-1, while
the first overtone was observed at 5664.98 cm-1. Using this data, calculate:
a) the vibrational frequency, ωe, and the anharmonicity constant, ωexe . (5)
b) the dissociation energy, De, and Do for the molecule. (5)

2. Krea University plans to procure a 600 MHz NMR spectrometer. Calculate the magnetic field (Bz)
employed in this machine. (5)

3. In the above machine what is the Larmor precession frequency for the bare hydrogen nucleus? (2)

4. In the above machine, the NMR feature for a -CH3 group in propane appears at 0.90 ppm while the feature
for the CH2 occurs at 1.34 ppm. What is the difference (∆ν) in the frequencies between these two features?
(3)
5. An NMR spectrum is shown below recorded using a 90 MHz machine. Pick the correct choice in the
questions given below: (Ignore the peak due to TMS when answering the questions below) (5)

i) The peak occurring at the lowest magnetic field is a

a) singlet b) doublet c) triplet d) quartet

ii) The peak corresponding to the lowest frequency is

a) singlet b) doublet c) triplet d) quartet

iii) How many equivalent neighbouring protons are present corresponding to the feature marked ‘a’?
a) One b) two c) three d) four
6. The NMR spectra of 1,1-dibromoethane and 1,2 -dibromoethane are given below (A and B). Identify which
spectra belongs to 1,1-dibromoethane and which to 1,2-dibromoethane. Justify your answer. (5)

7. In a magnetic sector mass spectrometer, the radius of curvature of the path of the ions was 15 cm. The
applied magnetic field in the machine was 0.35 T. What should be the accelerating voltage, V, to observe
the benzene ion (M=78)? (5)
8. In the same machine, is the accelerating voltage is held at 2500V. Assuming the radius of curvature is the
same (15 cm) what should the magnetic field be to observe the same ion (M=78)? (5)
