1. The two mass spectra below correspond to two isomers of C5H10O2: methyl butanoate and valeric acid. Match the spectrum with the appropriate compound. Place the m/z ratio and the structures (show all atoms) for the labeled fragments in the table below. 100 - Compound MS-NU-1708 Methyl butanoate 80 - 1 60 - 40 - CH3 2 H3C 20 - 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 m/z 100 - Compound MS-NU-3125 3 80 - Valeric acid 60 - 4 40 - H3C 20 - 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 m/z Fragment 1 Fragment 2 Fragment 3 Fragment 4 m/z 74 87 Fragment Relative Intensity

What is the value of m/z associated with this peak? 20 30 40 60 70 What is the mass of a hexane molecule that contains six ¹2℃ atoms (¹2CH3-¹2CH₂-¹2CH₂-¹2CH₂-¹2CH₂-¹2CH3)? Does this fit with the m/z value reported in part a of this question? 80 Draw a picture, like the one of "all ¹²C hexane" above, of a molecule that can account for the existence of a peak at m/z = 87 in the mass spectrum of hexane. (Check your work.) There are actually three acceptable answers to the previous question because there are three unique locations in a hexane molecule to replace a ¹2C with a ¹3C. If you have not already done so, draw the other two acceptable answers to the previous question. The peak at m/z = 87 is called the [M+1]* peak. Construct an explanation for this name. Use your periodic table to calculate the weight, in grams, of 1 mole of hexane to four…
