Chapter 22, Problem 22.7P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The nominal mass observed in selected ion has to be defined. Reason behind the three peaks has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Nominal mass in is the mass of molecular ion of most abundant isotope, where mass defect is not considered.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures for the peak of mz 73 for MTBE and TAME have to be suggested. The structures for the peak of mz 87 for ETBE and TAME have to be suggested.

Concept Introduction:

Mass spectrometry is an analytical tool that determines the mass to charge ratio of molecular ion. When solid, liquid, and gaseous substances are bombarded with high energy electrons, they ionize and meanwhile fragmented. The detector detects the charge to mass ratio of the ion and produces spectrum according to their abundance.
