Chapter 20, Problem 20.11QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The resolution required to resolve the following peak should be stated:

${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}\text{N}$$\text{(M = 28}\text{.0187)}$ and ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}{}^{\text{+}}$ is $\text{(M = 28}\text{.0061)}$.

Concept introduction:

The difference between the masses of the peaks of the mass spectrometer is called resolution.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The resolution required to resolve the following peak should be stated:

${\text{C}}_2{\text{H}}_4{}^{+}$$\text{(M = }28.0313\text{)}$ and ${\text{CO}}^{\text{+}}$ is $\text{(M = }27.9949\text{)}$.

Concept introduction:

The difference between the masses of the peaks of the mass spectrometer is called resolution.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The resolution required to resolve the following peak should be stated:

${\text{C}}_3{\text{H}}_7{\text{N}}_{\text{3}}{}^{+}$$\text{(M = }85.0641\text{)}$ and ${\text{C}}_5{\text{H}}_9{\text{O}}^{\text{+}}$ is $\text{(M = }85.0653\text{)}$.

Concept introduction:

The difference between the masses of the peaks of the mass spectrometer is called resolution.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The resolution required to resolve the following peak should be stated:

$\text{androst-4-en-3,17,-dione}\left({\text{M}}^{\text{+}}\right)$$m/z$ is $286.1930$ and impurity is $286.1240$.

Concept introduction:

The difference between the masses of the peaks of the mass spectrometer is called resolution.
