Chapter 10, Problem 51P
In the mass spectrum of the following compounds, which would be more intense: the peak at m/z = 57 or the peak at m/z = 71?
- a. 3-methylpentane
- b. 2-methylpentane
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation
The tallest peak should be identified.
Explanation of Solution
Mass fragmentation of 3-methyl pentane: In this molecule will be more adopted to lose an ethyl radical forming a secondary carbocation and a primary radical than a methyl radical forming secondary carbocation and methyl radical. In addition, 3-methylpentane ha undergoes for two path ways to lose an ethyl radical,
Therefore, the peak at
Mass fragmentation of 2-methyl pentane: The 2-methylpentane has undergoes for pathways to lose a methyl radical in each pathway and it cannot form a secondary carbocation by losing an ethyl radical. Loss of an ethyl radical would form a primary carbocation and a primary radical. Therefore, it will be more adopt to lose a methyl radical than an ethyl radical, the corresponding peak at
Figure 1
Conclusion
The 3-methyl pentane molecular peak at the m/e=71 has more intense then the peak at

How many milliliters of 97.5(±0.5) wt% H2SO4 with a density of 1.84(±0.01) g/mL will you need to prepare 2.000 L of 0.110 M H2SO4?
If the uncertainty in delivering H2SO4 is ±0.01 mL, calculate the absolute uncertainty in the molarity (0.110 M). Assume there is negligible uncertainty in the formula mass of H2SO4 and in the final volume (2.000 L) and assume random error.

Some of these techniques are:Distillation – this process is used to separate components that have significantly different boiling points. The solution is heated and the lower boiling point substance is vaporized first. The vapor can be collected and condensed and the component recovered as a pure liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is then raised, the next higher boiling component will come off and be collected. Eventually only non-volatile components will be left in the original solution.Centrifugation – a centrifuge will separate mixtures based on their mass. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge tube which is then spun at a high speed. Heavier components will settle at the bottom of the tube while lighter components will be at the top. This is the technique used to separate red blood cells from blood plasma.Sieving – this is…arrow_forwardBriefly describe a eutectic system.arrow_forward
