Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The fragments responsible for the given m/z values needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: A mass spectrum is formed between intensity and m/z ratio which represents a chemical analysis. For a sample, mass spectrum is a pattern that represents the distribution of ion by mass in sample. Here, m/z ratio is mass to charge ratio of the sample.
(b)
Interpretation: The reason for very low density of the peak at 113 needs to be explained.

(c)
Interpretation: The value of m/z needs to be calculated for the parent peak and reason for it to not observed needs to be explained.
