Question

During surgery, anesthesiolgists uses a mass spectrometer to monitor the respiratory gases of a patient. A gas often monitored is Isoflurane (molar mass = 3.06 ×10-25 kg). A singly ionized molecules of isoflurane has a charge if +e and moves at a speed of 7.5×103 m/s. If the path in which it travels is considered circular with a radius of 0.10 m then:

  1. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field that the spectrometer uses.
  2. If, and in a hypothetical case, a secondary reaction occurs creating a second particle which is negatively charged, twice the mass of the isoflurane and travels at 1.8 ×103 m/s. What is the radius of its circular path?
  3. Draw how the paths of these two molecules are affected under the influence of the magnetic force.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Molar mass of isoflurane, m = 3.06 ×10-25 kgspeed of the isoflurane, v = 7.5 ×103 m/ssingly ionized molecule has a charge of +e

We know charge on an electron is,

e = 1.6×10-19 C
