**Mass Spectrometry Analysis Exercise**

1. **What do you suppose is the molecular weight of the molecule that gives the mass spectrum below?**

   _______

   ![Mass Spectrum Graph]

   - **Graph Description:**
     - The x-axis represents m/z (mass-to-charge ratio).
     - The y-axis represents relative abundance (%).
     - Notable peaks at m/z values of 26, 27, 45, 55, and 72.

   - **Peak List:**
     - m/z = 27
     - m/z = 26
     - m/z = 45
     - m/z = 55
     - m/z = 72 (highest peak)
