Jack Slapdash was responsible for preparing the mixture for fractional distillation. He noticed after the distillation was complete that there was both 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone in the hood and he is not sure which one he actually used. After the distillation was complete he took a carbon nmr spectrum of his pot residue (pentanone) and noticed that there were only three signals after the solvent and reference signals were identified. Did Jack use 2-pentanone or 3-pentanone for his experiment? Explain briefly.
