Question:medium

The 1H NMR spectrum of a mixture of benzene and acetonitrile shows two singlets of equal integration. Given that benzene has 6 equivalent protons and acetonitrile (CH3CN) has 3 equivalent protons, the molar ratio of benzene to acetonitrile is:

Show Hint

Integration is proportional to moles times protons per molecule.

  • 1:1
  • 2:1
  • 1:2
  • 6:1
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Suppose 2 moles of acetonitrile contribute 2x3=6 proton units. For equal integration, benzene must also contribute 6 units. Each mole of benzene gives 6 protons, so 1 mole of benzene needed. Ratio 1:2.
\[\boxed{1:2}\]
