Question:

a. Explain why tetramethylsilane (TMS) is used as a standard in NMR spectroscopy.

b. In NMR we use solvents such as tetrachloromethane to prepare samples for the machine (Figure 29.16).

i. What is the molecular formula of tetrachloromethane?

ii. Why do you think tetrachloromethane is used as a solvent?

iii. Solvents that contain deuterium, D, are also used as solvents in NMR. Deuterium is the isotope 2H. A substance in which 1H is replaced by 2H is said to be deuterated. Why would the deuterated solvent CDCl3 be used instead of CHCl3?
