Chapter 22, Problem 22.28P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Description for indicated mass spectrum data for reserpine has to be matched along with reason.

Concept Introduction:

Nominal mass may be defined as mass of most abundant isotope of a particular ion or molecule. For instance carbon exist as two isotopes $\text{C-}12$ and $\text{C-}13$. $\text{C-}12$ is abundant as much as $98.9\text{ \%}$ while abundance of $\text{C-}13$ is only $\text{1}\text{.1 \%}$. So clearly nominal mass of carbon is $12\text{ g}$.
