Question

1, What is an organic compound compared to an inorganic compound?

2, Give the molecular formula and draw the structural formula for salicylic acid.

3, Give the molecular formula and draw the structural formula for acetic anhydride.

4,What information does ¹HNMR provide with respect to an organic compound?

5. Write in your own words, the step-wise experimental procedure for the synthesis of the unknown organic compound.

6. How will the structure of your organic product be determined using the ¹HNMR data given/acquired? That is, what is the process that you will follow to identify the compound?

Answer 1

1) organic compounds contain Carbon atoms in it but inorganic compounds do not contain Carbon atoms.

2) salicylic acid

molecular formula: C₇H₆O₃

structural formula :  

3) acetic anhydride

molecular formula :  C₄H₆O₃

structural formula :

4) 1H NMR provides information about the position of protons ( hydrogen) in the structure of the organic compounds so it tells the information about the structure of the organic compounds.it can be used to deduce the structure of the compound.
