A sample containing \(^{12}\text{C}\), \(^{16}\text{O}\), and an unknown isotope is analyzed in a mass spectrometer. As in the figure, the ions move around a semicircle before striking a photographic plate. The \(^{12}\text{C}^+\) and \(^{16}\text{O}^+\) ions are separated by 6.420 cm on the plate, and the unknown isotope strikes the plate 4.920 cm from the \(^{12}\text{C}^+\) ions. What is the mass of the unknown element?**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram shows the path of ions in a mass spectrometer. Key components include:- **Ion Source:** Where ions are generated.- **Accelerating Potential (\(\Delta V\)):** Accelerates the low-speed ions that enter.- **Uniform Magnetic Field (\(\mathbf{B}\)):** Ions travel through this field, causing them to move in a circular path.- **Photographic Plate or Detector:** This captures the location where ions strike.The semicircular paths illustrate how ions separate based on their mass-to-charge ratios, with the \(^{12}\text{C}^+\) ions used as a reference point. The distances between paths on the photographic plate allow for calculation of unknown masses.

Robert Millikan was an American physicist who in 1909 performed a classic experiment involving charged oil drops. Millikan adjusted the voltage applied between two metal plates in order to suspend charged drops in the resulting electric field. For a suspended drop, the electrostatic force directed up exactly balances out the weight of the drop. Millikan ultimately determined the charge on an electron and that charge is quantized. This means that charge comes in increments, discrete amounts, rather than any amount.A NEGATIVELY-charged oil drop is suspended between two plates of opposite charge by an electric field of 603 newtons per coulomb. The drop is determined to have a mass of 8.86 x 10-17 kilograms. a. What is the charge on the drop? Include units in your answer.
