Answer #1

The H-NMR shows three peaks which means the compound has three non equivalent hydrogens. The C-NMR shows four peaks which means it has four non equivalent carbons.

By H-NMR, the total hydrogens are 3H + 2H + 2H = 7H. Since the molecule has 14H (as given by the molecular formula C7H14O), this means ithas symmetrical hydrogens.

By (n+1) rule, Triplet of 3H (2+1) signifies peak of CH3CH2-.

By (n+1) rule, Triplet of 2H (2+1) signifies peak of -CH2CH2-.

By (n+1) rule, Sextet of 2H (5+1) signifies peak of -CH2CH2CH3.

By C-NMR, peak beyond 200 signifies C=O group.

The compound is dipropyl ketone. The structure of it is given as

0 32

It has 3 non equivalent hydrogens which are represented as (a), (b) and (c) in the figure below
