After submitting a sample for mass spectral analysis you are given the following spectrum: 100 80 40 20 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 m/z You know that your sample is either 3-pentanone or 3-pentanol. 3-pentanone 3-pentanol Part A: How could you use the mass spectrum above as your only means to determine if your sample is either 3-pentanone or 3- pentanol? Note that the spectrum above lacks a molecular ion. Part B: What is the identity of the sample which provided you with spectrum above: 3-pentanone or 3-pentanol? Relative Intensity

Analyze the 1H NMR of 2-cyclohexyl-2-propanol. In this case, it is not possible to assign all peaks. Indicate which peaks can be assigned to specific H atoms in this compound.
References] The molecular ion in the mass spectrum of 3-methyl-2-pentene appears at m/z 84. Propose a structural formula for the prominent peak at m/z 29. • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. • In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one. • Do not use the square brackets tool in your answer.

Determine the incorrect statement regarding the mass spectrometry of 2-pentanone and 3- pentanone Both ketones display their base peak at m/z 43. b. The molecular ion peak of both ketones appears at m/z 86. Both ketones form important fragments after homolytic cleavage of their molecular ion peak. d. A characteristic peak at m/z 58 in the mass spectrum of ketone I can be used to differentiate it from ketone I.
You have an unknown compound that you are trying to identify. You start by collecting a mass spectrum of the molecule and observe a molecular ion peak at 105 m/z. You also notice a second peak at 107 m/z that is about 1/3 the height of the peak at 105. Show your work/reasoning. a. Based on this information, propose a molecular formula for the compound. b. Based on your molecular formula, draw two possible structures for your compound. If you can't figure out the molecular formula, use C5H,BrO for the rest of the questions. c. Indicate how you would distinguish between the two compounds based on each compound's IR spectrum. Be specific regarding regions in which you would or would not find peaks.
