Here's a model that may help clear up some of the uncertainties. Next,click the icon circled in blue in the Data Analysis window and choose ReportTable to Clipboard and then paste the data. Do the calculations on all the peaks as described in Step6. Now that we’ve seen how the signal intensity is directly proportionate to the number of hydrogens that give rise to that signal, it makes sense to conclude that the more hydrogens of one kind there are in a molecule (equivalent hydrogens, so in the same chemical environment), the more intense the corresponding NMR signal will be. The inversion recovery delaysin seconds are listed in column X(I) and the integrals are listed in column Y(X), Y1(X), etc. We can use this technique to figure out the hydrogen ratio when the number of hydrogens responsible for each signal is not written directly above the peak (look in the links section for an animation on how to manually find the ratio of hydrogens as described here). We can manually measure the lengths by which the horizontal line is displaced at each peak to attain a ratio of hydrogens from the various signals.

The pen then moves horizontally until another signal is reached, at which point, another vertical marking is made. To show these integrations, a recorder pen marks a vertical line with a length that is proportional to the integrated area under a signal (sometimes referred to as a peak)- a value that is proportional to the number of hydrogens that are accountable for the signal. NMR machines can be used to measure signal intensity, a plot of which is sometimes automatically displayed above the regular spectrum. The integrated intensity of a signal in a 1H NMR spectrum (does not apply to 13C NMR) gives a ratio for the number of hydrogens that give rise to the signal, thereby helping calculate the total number of hydrogens present in a sample.We can get the following information from a 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) structure:
