Structure and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. An Experiment for the General Chemistry Laboratory

Abstract
We have developed an experiment that introduces freshman chemistry students to NMR. Students are trained to work on the instrument, analyze 1H and 13C spectra, and identify simple organic molecules. They are also introduced to the idea of functional groups and they use concepts learned in class about Lewis structures to distinguish among spectra of isomers of C3H8O. As part of this exercise students submit written reports and complete a survey evaluating the experiment. The lab experiment, survey results, and findings are presented.
Supplement
A student handout and post-experiment survey are available.
