Introduction

We are going to collect an ESR spectrum from a series of substituted hydroquinones.

Hydroquinones
  • A=Hydroquinone (110.11 g/mol) B=methylhydroquinone C=dimethylhydroquinone

Experimental

Beaker Method

  • Solution A: 1 M NaOH; 1 gram NaOH (39.997 g/mol) into 25 mL EtOH.
  • Solution B: 1 M hydroquinone solution.
  • Procedure: To 2 ml of 1 M hydroquinone solution add 2-3 drops of solution A. A color change will indicate the reaction has occurred. Quickly transfer colored sample to ESR sample tube, place in ESR spectrometer, tune, and collected data.

Flow Method

  • Solution A: 0.05 M NaOH; 0.05 grams NaOH (39.997 g/mol) into 25 ml EtOH.
  • Solution B: 1 M hydroquinone solution.
  • Procedure: Prepare two syringed with
