The mass spectrum of bromine (Br2) consists of three peaks with the following characteristics: Mass (u) Relative Size 157.84 0.2534 159.84 0.5000 161.84 0.2466 How do you interpret these data?
The mass spectrum of CH3Cl is illustrated here. You know that carbon has two stable isotopes, and 13C with relative abundances of 98.9% and 1.1%, respectively, and chlorine has two isotopes, 35a and 37CI with abundances of 75.77% and 24.23%, respectively. (a) What molecular species gives rise to the lines at m/Z of 50 and 52? Why is the line at 52 about 1/3 the height of the line at 50? (b) What species might be responsible for the line at m/Z = 51?
Questions 2: What is the principle that allows us to use a mass spectrometer to determine the intensity of a peak?* Higher molecular mass compounds are less volatile than lower molecular mass compounds. Cations of higher mass are deflected less by a magnetic field than cations of lower mass. Cations reaching the detector causes a current that is proportional to the size of these ion. O Larger çations takes longer to reach the detector. O All of these statements are correct.
