What NMR Signals Tell Us
• The number of signals shows how many different kinds of protons are present.
• The location of the signals shows how shielded or deshielded the proton is.
• The intensity of the signal shows the number of protons of that type.
• Signal splitting shows the number of protons on adjacent atoms.

• Acquire: 1H spectrum of acetylacetone (AcAc) as a function of temperature
• Quantify: integrate enol & keto proton signals to determine equilibrium constant Keq
• Determine: ∆𝑯, ∆𝑺, and ∆𝑮 • ∆𝐺𝐺 = ∆𝐻𝐺 − 𝑇∆𝑆𝐺
• ∆𝐺𝐺 = −𝑅𝑇 ln𝐾𝑒𝑒 = ∆𝐻𝐺 − 𝑇∆𝑆𝐺; ln𝐾𝑒𝑒 = − ∆𝐻𝐺𝑅𝑅
+ ∆𝑆𝐺𝑅
• Plot: ln𝐾𝑒𝑒 vs. 1𝑅(K)
; slope = - ∆𝐻𝐺𝑅
, intercept = ∆𝑆𝐺𝑅
• Determine: Temperature dependence of Enol concentration
