13 cards
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.
