Given that at room temperature the 1 HNMR spectrum of N,N-dimethylformamide shows three peaks at 2.9 δ (singlet, 3H), 3.0 δ (singlet, 3H) and 8.0 δ (singlet, 1H). With increase in temperature the two singlets at 2.9 δ and 3.0 δ slowly merge together. At 180oC, the 1 HNMR spectrum shows only two peaks at 2.95 δ (singlet, 6H) and 8.0 δ (singlet, 1H). This temperature dependence behavior is to be explained. Concept introduction: If two methyl groups attached to an atom in a single bond are non-equivalent because of a barrier to rotation of a single bond then the two methyl groups will give separate signals in 1 HNMR. However if the barrier is not there, free rotation becomes possible, the methyl groups become inter-convertible and the two signals will merge to a single signal. To explain: The temperature dependence behavior observed in the 1 HNMR spectrum of N,N-dimethylformamide is to be explained.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given that at room temperature the ¹HNMR spectrum of N,N-dimethylformamide shows three peaks at 2.9 δ (singlet, 3H), 3.0 δ (singlet, 3H) and 8.0 δ (singlet, 1H). With increase in temperature the two singlets at 2.9 δ and 3.0 δ slowly merge together. At 180oC, the ¹HNMR spectrum shows only two peaks at 2.95 δ (singlet, 6H) and 8.0 δ (singlet, 1H). This temperature dependence behavior is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

An expression for the root mean square velocity, vrms, of a gas was derived. Using Maxwell’s velocity distribution, one can also calculate the mean velocity and the most probable velocity (mp) of a collection of molecules. The equations used for these two quantities are vmean=(8RT/πM)1/2 and vmp=(2RT/M)1/2 These values have a fixed relationship to each other.(a) Arrange these three quantities in order of increasing magnitude.(b) Show that the relative magnitudes are independent of the molar mass of the gas.(c) Use the smallest velocity as a reference for establishing the order of magnitude and determine the relationship between the larger and smaller values.

The reaction of solid dimethylhydrazine, (CH3)2N2H2, and liquefied dinitrogen tetroxide, N2O4, has been investigated for use as rocket fuel. The reaction produces the gases carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and water vapor (H2O), which are ejected in the exhaust gases. In a controlled experiment, solid dimethylhydrazine was reacted with excess dinitrogen tetroxide, and the gases were collected in a closed balloon until a pressure of 2.50 atm and a temperature of 400.0 K were reached.(a) What are the partial pressures of CO2, N2, and H2O?(b) When the CO2 is removed by chemical reaction, what are the partial pressures of the remaining gases?

One liter of chlorine gas at 1 atm and 298 K reacts completely with 1.00 L of nitrogen gas and 2.00 L of oxygen gas at the same temperature and pressure. A single gaseous product is formed, which fills a 2.00 L flask at 1.00 atm and 298 K. Use this information to determine the following characteristics of the product:(a) its empirical formula;(b) its molecular formula;(c) the most favorable Lewis formula based on formal charge arguments (the central atom is N);(d) the shape of the molecule.
