Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The fragmentation mechanisms for the observation of strong peak at m/z=74 in EI mass spectrum of 2-methylpentanoicacid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The EI mass spectrum is one of the types of mass spectrum in which an organic compound is vaporized and is analyzed by the bombardment with high energy electrons. When high energy passes by the molecule, it ejects an electron. The molecule results in the formation of the radical cation. This radical cation is then fragmented into small pieces. The rate of fragmentation depends upon the stability of the radical cation.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The fragmentation mechanisms for the observation of strong peak at m/z=105 and

m/z=77 in EI mass spectrum of benzoic acid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The EI mass spectrum is one of the types of mass spectrum in which an organic compound is vaporized and is analyzed by the bombardment with high energy electrons. When high energy passes by the molecule it ejects an electron the molecules results in the formation of the radical cation. This radical cation is then fragmented into small pieces and rate of fragmentation depends upon the stability of the radical cation.

Suppose the rate of evaporation in a hot, dry region is 1.76 meters per year, and the seawater there has a salinity of 35 ‰. Assuming a 93% yield, how much salt (NaCl) can be harvested each year from 1 km2 of solar evaporation ponds that use this seawater as a source?
