Evans NMR Method1.
Using equation provided in the book

477v
Xm= Qv ic

Where, v is the frequency difference in hertz between shifted resonance

and pure solvent peak. Q is 2. Vi is frequency in hertz of the radio waves. And
c is molar concentration.
477256.71 Hz
Thus. Xm= 2300E60.02587 =7.725E-3 cm3*mol-1
Now XA = XM+D
Therefore
XA= 7.725E-3 cm3*mol-1+(-55E-6*3)=7.723E-3
Now
eff = 2.828(XA*T)1/2
Then

eff = 2.828(7.723E-3*297.17)1/2 = 4.4698BM

Now
0=n2+2n- eff

n=

Thus n = 3.58 implying 4 unpaired electrons.

Evans Balance1
CL( R R0 )
(1109 )m

Xg

Where
L

= sample length in cm.

= sample mass in grams

= reading from sample in balance

R0 = reading from empty Gouy tube

Xg = 16.44 x 10-6 cm3/g (Susceptibility of HgCo(NCS)4)
Thus
c=

16.44E-61E-90.3816
=10.64cm2
2.57299+0.33

Now
Xg

CL( R R0 )
(1109 )m

L = sample length in cm.

m = sample mass in grams
R = reading from sample in balance
R0 = reading from empty Gouy tube
C = calibration constant determined with HgCo(NCS)4

Xg=

10.64( 118.47 +0.33 )2.56

=2.913E-5 cm3*g-1
1E-90.111 g

Now

m g MW
Xm=2.913E-5*355.286g/mol= 0.01035cm3 *mol-1
Now Taking the same route as above and starting at
Now XA = XM+D
We have Now eff=4.9032BM
And number of unpaired electrons is equal to 4
