i had a few questions i am confused on.

1. A hydrogen with 6 neighbors is split into 7 peaks. (a) what is the ratio of peak heights for each of the 7 peaks? (b) explain why the 7 peaks are not all of equal heights.

- for (a), i know to find the ratio you can use pascals triangle to figure out the ratio but for (b) im not sure how the peaks are different, the only thing i know is that it has to do with the alpha and beta but not sure how.

2. Saccharin has the molecular formula C7H5O3NS. What is the SODAR (degree of unsaturation) value for this artificial sweetener?
- i know theres an equation ( (2n + 2) - (#H +#Halogens - #N) ) / 2, but does the "S" affect the calculation in any way?


any help will be appreciated. thanks

i remember my textbook explaining why the peaks have different heights...just look it up in your textbook and you should get the answer. As for the 2nd question, no "S" does not affect the calculation.
