Step 1: Understanding proton NMR.
In proton NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), the chemical shifts and integration ratios of the peaks provide information about the number and types of protons in a molecule. The integration ratio reflects the relative number of protons in different environments. A 2:2:3 integration ratio corresponds to three sets of protons with relative ratios of 2 protons, 2 protons, and 3 protons.

Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct answer is 2 because two of the given hydrocarbons will give rise to a 2:2:3 integration ratio in proton NMR.

Step 1: Analysis of NMR Requirements

For a compound to have only two signals in its spectrum, it must have only two distinct sets of chemically equivalent protons.

To determine how the spacing between successive rotational energy levels of a diatomic molecule XY and its heavier isotopic analogue X'Y' varies with the rotational quantum number , we need to understand the formula for the rotational energy levels of a diatomic molecule.

The rotational energy levels of a diatomic molecule are given by:

where:

• is the rotational energy level.
• is the rotational quantum number.
• is the reduced Planck's constant.
• is the moment of inertia of the molecule.

The moment of inertia is defined as:

where:

• is the reduced mass of the diatomic molecule.
• is the internuclear distance.

The spacing between successive rotational levels is:

Upon simplifying, this becomes:

For isotopes, the moment of inertia changes because the reduced mass depends on the masses of the atoms. For a heavier isotope, , which means .

Now we can evaluate which option corresponds to this logic and behavior.

The correct answer is the one which acknowledges the decrease in spacing due to an increase in the moment of inertia for the heavier isotopic analogue. Hence, the correct option is the above image, which represents the decrease in rotational level spacing.

Therefore, the spacing decreases as the isotopic mass increases, demonstrating how they vary with the rotational quantum number, .

To determine the number of CO stretching bands in the infrared (IR) spectrum of , we need to consider the molecular geometry and symmetry of the complex.

The iron pentacarbonyl, , has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. This structure has a central iron atom surrounded by five carbon monoxide (CO) ligands. Two of the CO ligands are axial, and three are equatorial.

For such geometries, the vibrational modes can be analyzed using group theory. Each type of CO bond can have different vibrational modes based on their positions:

1. The axial CO bonds are symmetrical and equivalent.
2. The equatorial CO bonds are symmetrical among themselves.

Therefore, by applying group theoretical analysis, we find:

• There are 2 types of CO stretching vibrations in this structure:
  • One type corresponds to the stretch of the axial COs, and
  • Another type corresponds to the stretch of the equatorial COs.

Each type of stretching will result in a distinct band in the IR spectrum. Hence, the number of distinct CO stretching bands in the IR spectrum of is 2.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

The number of signals observed in the spectrum of a compound is equal to the number of sets of chemically non-equivalent protons.

The given compound is a substituted biphenyl derivative, specifically -hexamethylbiphenyl.

Rotation about the bond: The two phenyl rings are not necessarily coplanar due to the steric hindrance of the methyl groups. Because the substituents on each ring are identical ( at and at ), and the positions have bulky methyl groups, there is restricted rotation around the single bond connecting the two rings. The molecule exists as a mixture of conformers, but for high-resolution NMR, the molecule is often considered to have a certain time-averaged symmetry or, if the barrier to rotation is very high, to be conformationally stable.

Symmetry in Hexamethylbiphenyl: Due to the identical substitution pattern on both rings, the molecule possesses an axis of symmetry passing through the center of the bond and perpendicular to it, which equates the two phenyl rings. This is a axis of rotation that passes through the midpoint of the bond and relates one ring to the other.

Based on the symmetry of the molecule, we can identify the sets of equivalent protons.

Each phenyl ring has one position ( and ) and two positions ( and ) substituted with methyl groups.

The only remaining unsubstituted positions on the ring are the positions, and .

Because the two rings are chemically and magnetically equivalent due to the symmetry, the protons at:

and are equivalent.

and are equivalent.

Furthermore, due to the internal symmetry of each ring (or the axis relating the positions and after rotation of the molecule), the atoms at the positions are all chemically equivalent.

Signal 1 ( ): aromatic protons ( at ) give one signal.

The compound has six methyl ( ) groups:

Two methyl groups: at and at .

Two methyl groups: at and at .

The methyl groups ( ) are equivalent.

Signal 3 ( ): protons of the methyl groups give one signal.

The molecule contains three sets of chemically non-equivalent protons:

Aromatic protons ( at ).

methyl protons ( at ).

methyl protons ( at ).

The number of signals observed in the spectrum is .

The zero-point energy of a harmonic oscillator is given by the formula: E₀ = (1/2)hν, where h is Planck's constant, and ν is the frequency in Hz. First, we need to convert the frequency from cm⁻¹ to Hz:

1 cm⁻¹ = 100 cm = 100 m⁻¹, hence, the frequency ν = 2000 cm⁻¹ × 3.00 × 10¹⁰ cm/s = 6.00 × 10¹³ Hz.

Now, calculate the zero-point energy in Joules:

E₀ = (1/2) × 6.62 × 10⁻³⁴ J s × 6.00 × 10¹³ Hz = 1.986 × 10⁻²⁰ J.

Convert the zero-point energy to electron volts (eV):

E₀ (eV) = 1.986 × 10⁻²⁰ J ÷ 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J/eV ≈ 0.1241 eV.

The computed zero-point energy is 0.12 eV when rounded to two decimal places, [0.12, 0.13].

In the given compound, we have two distinct types of protons:

1. The two methoxy groups (−OCH₃) each have identical protons, and they are chemically equivalent.
2. The protons on the benzene ring are all equivalent because of the symmetry of the structure (with methoxy groups at the ortho positions relative to each other).

Therefore, the ¹H NMR spectrum will exhibit two signals:

1. A signal for the methoxy protons (OCH₃).
2. A signal for the aromatic protons on the benzene ring.

Thus, the correct number of signals is 2

• (A) The stretching frequency of CO in H₃B·CO is greater than that in free CO due to the electron-withdrawing effects of the boron in the H₃B group, which increases the bond strength and results in a higher stretching frequency.
• (B) This statement is incorrect because the stretching frequency of CO in H₃B·CO is greater, not lesser.
• (C) The stretching frequency of CO in Fe(CO)₅ is lower than that in H₃B·CO because the iron center donates electron density to the CO ligand, weakening the C–O bond and lowering the frequency.
• (D) The stretching frequency of CO in H₃B·CO is greater than that in Fe(CO)₅ due to the different electronic effects of the metal center in Fe(CO)₅, which leads to weaker bonding with CO and thus a lower frequency.

Thus, the correct answers are (A) and (D).

The wavelength of a photon can be calculated using the energy-wavelength relationship:

E =

Where:

• E is the energy of the photon
• h is Planck’s constant
• c is the speed of light
• is the wavelength

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the wavelength :

Given that the energy of the γ-ray is 0.66 MeV, we first need to convert this to joules:

Now, substitute the values into the equation for :

Thus, the wavelength of the γ-ray is 0.021 Å (rounded to three decimal places).

The transmission of light through a solution follows the Beer-Lambert Law, which is given by:

T =

Where:

• T is the transmission
• is the molar absorptivity
• c is the concentration of the solution
• l is the path length of the cell

Since the experiments are performed in the same spectrophotometric cell, the path length is constant for both cases. We are given that:

• 1 M of dye transmits 50% of the incident light.

Now, when the concentration is doubled to 2 M, the transmission of light decreases according to the Beer-Lambert Law because absorbance increases with concentration. For a 2 M solution, the transmission would be halved:

Transmission at 2 M =

Thus, the 2 M dye transmits 25% of the incident light.
