What is the main use of quantitative NMR against an internal standard?

  • A.Separating a mixture into its individual components
  • B.Determining purity without a reference sample of the analyte
  • C.Identifying an unknown compound from its fragment ions
  • D.Measuring trace metals at parts per billion levels

Answer: B

Because signal area is proportional to the number of nuclei, a weighed certified standard in the same tube gives the purity of the analyte without needing a pure sample of the analyte itself. That is a real advantage over chromatography, which needs a calibrated reference for every compound measured. Fragment ions belong to mass spectrometry, trace metals to atomic spectroscopy, and NMR separates nothing. The method demands a long relaxation delay and careful integration, but it has become a primary technique for reference material certification.
