Year 13 Analysis Key Defintions OCR Chemsitry A

?
Rf value
A comparison between how far a compoent has moved compared to the solvent in TLC. Distance moved by component/distance moved by solvent
1 of 10
Retention Time
Time taken for a component to travel from the inlet to the detector in gas chromatography. Can be compared to known values
2 of 10
Qualitative Analysis
An obervable change and does not inolve observations using numerical values
3 of 10
TMS
Also known as tetremethylsilane ((CH3)4Si) is an internal standard for carbon and proton NMR making a relative scale (chemical shift) with a value of 0ppm
4 of 10
Chemical shift
The scale that compares the frequency of NMR absorption with the frequency of the reference peak of TMS
5 of 10
Deuterium
An isotope of hydrogen that does not produce a signal in proton NMR (2H isotope also shown by the symbol D). Has a greater mass that 1H isotope so usually called heavy
6 of 10
Equivalent Protons
Hydrogen atoms bonded to the same atoms that therefore, experience the same magnetic field in the NMR spectrometer
7 of 10
Splitting Pattern
Some sigans are made from a cluster of peaks caused by spin-spin coupling of neighboring protons. The protons after the magentic field affectting the alingment of the proton and splitting the signal
8 of 10
Number of peaks in a spiltting pattern (equation)
Different nubers of adjacent protons will cause a different number of splits. Number of protons on adjacent carbon atom+1 (n+1 rule)
9 of 10
An adjacent atom
Within 4 bonds away (eg. max of three bonds away)
