Hello everyone! I come back here. Let’s continue with today’s exercise. It’s “The following quote comes from a web page about hexagon water. “The lower the NMR reading, the smaller the clusters…”. Let’s keep track!

Question: The following quote comes from a web page about hexagon water. “The lower the NMR reading, the smaller the clusters…”

Here is our question:

Answer

Here is answer for question A:

As you know, NMR is one of the most popular spectroscopic methods. It is used to predict unknown structures of organic compounds using the chemical shift values of different functional groups. It can also predict about carbon backbones by revealing the differences in the environment of carbons and hydrogen. Hexagon water refers to eight water molecules that form clusters. They are the most stable because they have hydrogen bonding between them. The different characters of hexagon water are subject to debate because they have a very short duration of hydrogen bonding. They do not show any differences in 17O NMR spectrums, which would indicate their differences from regular tap water. Hexagon water is therefore a pseudoscience.

The correct choice is Option A: NMR is a reliable spectroscopic technique and hexagon water is a pseudoscience.

Here is answer for question B:

So we choose option 1: C

Relevant knowledge

The term NMR stands for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. It is a spectroscopic technique used in analytical chemistry to determine the content, purity, and molecular structures present in a sample. It gives us information about the number and types of atoms present in a particular molecule. The basis of NMR is the use of the magnetic property of atomic nuclei. NMR is one of the most powerful tools that can be used to determine the molecular structure of organic compounds. There are two common types of NMR: 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The key difference between 1H NMR and 13C NMR is that 1H NMR is used to determine the type and number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule whereas 13C NMR is used to determine the type and number of carbon atoms in a molecule.

Conclusion

Thus, the article has helped you find the answer to the question “The following quote comes from a web page about hexagon water. “The lower the NMR reading, the smaller the clusters…”. Thank you for reading and see you next time!
