Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The molecular formula that exactly matches given mass value has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Interpreting a mass spectrum:
- 1. The each m/z values is the m/z value of one the fragments to the nearest whole number.
- 2. The peak with the highest m/z value in the molecular ions (M+), the fragment that results when the molecules lose an electron as result of being bombarding by the electron beam.
- 3. The m/z value of the molecular ion gives the molecular mass of the compound.
- 4. Peaks with smaller m/z values, fragment ion peak represent positively charged fragments of the molecular ion.
