Revision notes for GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level AS Advanced Level A2 IB Revise AQA GCE Chemistry OCR GCE Chemistry Edexcel GCE Chemistry Salters Chemistry CIE Chemistry revising courses for pre-university students (equal to US grade 11 and grade 12 and Honours/honors level courses)
These questions illustrate how you can unite various sources of data-information to deduce the structure of a molecule
You will need tables of nmr chemical shifts and
characteristic infrared absorption frequencies (as wavenumber cm-1)
Atomic masses: C = 12, H = 1, O =16 * Answers to NMR problems
