Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.10P
Benzene, toluene, and p-xylene (BTX) are often added to gasoline to boost octane ratings. What would be observed if a mixture of these three compounds were subjected to GC–MS analysis? How many peaks would be present in the gas chromatogram? What would be the relative order of the peaks? What molecular ions would be observed in the mass spectra?

In the mass spectrum of the following compounds, which is the tallest—the peak at m/z = 57 or the peak at m/z = 71? a. 3-methylpentane b. 2-methylpentane
On each mass spectrum above, indicate the base peak and the molecular ion peak (or at least where you would expect to find it) and if the base peak on the mass spectrum for linalool has m/z 71, propose a structure for this fragment ion.
following the data in the mass spectrum, can you help me find the parent peak? and how do you identify the parent peak from the base peak?
