Introduction
We are going to collect an ESR spectrum from a series of substituted hydroquinones.
600px|thumb|left|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
