Note to players: Pencil and paper may be helpful. The two most common applications of this technique rely on the relative positioning of carbon-13 atoms or protons. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this technique that identifies molecules based on the chemical shifts of their component atoms upon application of a strong magnetic field.
ANSWER: NMR spectroscopy [or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; prompt on magnetic resonance imaging or MRI]
[10m] The two most common solvents for proton NMR are heavy water and the deuterated form of this molecule, which normally appears as a peak at 7.26 parts-per-million if not fully suppressed.
ANSWER: chloroform [or CHCl3; accept deuterated chloroform or CDCl3]
[10h] Note to moderator: Read this part slowly. Consider the proton NMR readout of 1-propanol. What is the splitting pattern for the hydrogens on the carbon between the terminal carbon and the carbon bound to the hydroxyl group? Your answer should be a combination of singlets, doublets, triplets, and/or quartets. You have 10 seconds.
ANSWER: triplet of quartets [or quartet of triplets; reject partial answers]
