Card 1

Question: What happens to spinning protons when placed in an external magnetic field?

Answer: They act like bar magnets.

Card 2

Question: What are common operating frequencies mentioned for NMR spectrometers in MHz?

Answer: 300 MHz, 500 MHz, 700 MHz, and 850 MHz.

Card 3

Question: Why was a special building needed at the Max Planck Institute example?

Answer: To house the equipment for an 850 MHz NMR magnet.

Card 4

Question: What sample concentrations are suggested for 1H NMR from the content?

Answer: 2–10 mg/mL.

Card 5

Question: What sample concentrations are suggested for 13C NMR from the content?

Answer: 25–50 mg/mL.

Card 6

Question: How does the amount of solvent affect NMR spectra quality according to the content?

Answer: A small amount of solvent gives a bad spectrum; a large amount gives a good spectrum but wastes solvent.

Card 7

Question: What part of the NMR sample tube contains the sample cavity where the NMR signal is generated?

Answer: The bottom section of the NMR sample tube contains the sample cavity.

Card 8

Question: Name two special types of NMR tubes shown in the content.

Answer: An extended NMR tube with constriction and a sealed tube for high/low pressure (with a piece of tissue and sealed tube containing sample).

Card 9

Question: What is the main function of the NMR probe as described?

Answer: To efficiently produce an inductance (∼W) and detect the result (< mW).

Card 10

Question: What type of magnets are highlighted in the NMR magnets section?

Answer: Superconducting magnets.
