Chapter 16, Problem 16.56P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H}$ NMR spectrum of a compound, ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}\text{O}$, exhibits five signals with the relative integration $1:5:5:20:30$. The interpretation of signal with relative integration $1$ is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule is either the sum of the integrations of all the signals or a multiple of that sum.
