Answer #1

The most intense (tallest) peak in a mass spectrum, due to the ion with the greatest relative abundance is called the base peak. According to this definition, in the given spectra the tallest and the intense peak is at 45 m/e so the base peak from the given spectra is at 45 m/e

The other significant peaks in the spectra are molecular ion, M+, [M+1], and [M+2] peak pattern with specific relative intensities at 90, 91, and 92 respectively. They indicate the presence of specific atoms such as 13C or 37Cl and thus help identify the actual structure of the compound of interest.

The peak at 60 m/e indicates that there could be the presence of methyl groups because of its difference of 15 with base peak and molecular ion peak and mass of methyl group corresponds to that difference.
