horseb0x Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have a spectroscopy interpretation test next week where we'll be given the IR, C13NMR, HNMR and mass spectrum of compounds and asked to identify the compounds. We'll also be given molecules and have to predict what the spectra will look like for them. This test happens to be open book meaning we're allowed to check books and use the internet. What would you focus on if you wanted to do well on the exam? I'm good at reading IR's but I don't have much experience with HNMR's and no experience with C13NMR's or mass spectra. Should I focus on learning how to interpret mass spectra so I'll be able to determine the MW of the compound? Is it a definite that I'll be able to find the MW of a compound from its mass spectrum? If so that would make things fairly easy since I can just enter it into a database and narrow down it down to a handful of compounds that have that exact mass. Should I take the time to learn to interpret C13 spectra or should I just focus on expanding my HNMR knowledge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belovelife Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 well if you read my theory, you could end the exam with a question of weather or not if the nucleus of the atom is matter antimatter interaction, if the frequency of that interaction has anyting to do with the emmitted EMS, molecular interaction, and weak force of gravity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
