Overview
The intensity of a signal, which can be represented by the area under the peak, depends on the number of protons contributing to that signal. The area under each peak is shown as a vertical line called an integral, with the integral value listed under it, as seen in the proton NMR spectrum of benzyl acetate. Each integral value is divided by the smallest integral value to obtain the ratio of the number of protons producing each signal. The ratio reveals the relative number of protons and not the absolute number. Multiplying by two and rounding off gives the actual ratio for benzyl acetate, which is 5:2:3. Comparing the integration values with the spectrum reveals that the peaks at 7.3, 5.1, and 2 ppm correspond to the five aryl, two benzyl, and three methyl protons, respectively. Because compounds such as ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) and diethyl ether (H5C2–O–C2H5) would yield the same ratio and have similar NMR spectra, these situations are resolved by applying other spectroscopic techniques. In the NMR spectrum of a mixture of compounds, the intensity of each spectrum is relative to its concentration in the mixture. This is why the addition of less than 5% of TMS (with 12 equivalent protons) yields an intense signal at 0 ppm, without dwarfing the sample signal.…

Embed code vs URL
An embed code allows you to place a JoVE video directly inside of your learning or training environment. Most learning management systems such as Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle require an embed code for JoVE content to stream.
A URL allows you to place a link in programs such as PowerPoint or Microsoft Word which takes a user to a separate page where they can watch a JoVE video.
Most of the time, you will want to use the embed code. However, there are some environments that don’t support embed codes such as Google Classrooms and MS Teams. In those instances, you can use a URL to still provide access to JoVE videos.
What is an Embed Code?
Basically, it’s a snippet of code that you put on your website that displays as a video. An embed code pulls the video from the original source, allowing you to display a video without having to host the file on your website.
How to embed a video
STEP 1: COPY YOUR EMBED CODE
To generate the embed code, simply click the Copy button above. You can customize it by choosing a specific language for the video, or setting exact dimensions for the video player.
STEP 2: PASTE THE EMBED CODE INTO YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Embed codes can be used in most learning management systems (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle…), organizational websites, and a host of other tools. The specifics of how to add in an embed code will depend on your environment.
Generally, it involves accessing a text editor, entering the HTML mode on the editor, and pasting in the embed code. Get more details on embedding into specific environments here.
