Question

A simulated mass spectrum of carbon is shown in Figure 1. What mass (average or isotopic) is in mass spectrometry? Explain. Queremos in Macedond should always be blind in shubtions. Now let's look at the axes in the mass spectrum... Figure 1. Mass spectrum of carbon 5. What is the y-axis? What correlation exists between peak heights in Figure 1 and the relative abundances in Table 1. The y axis in the percent abndoare. 6. What is the x-axis? Compare the expected mass (Table 1) and the observed mass (Figure 1). What is implied about "z"? Consider this... The peak with the greatest abundance in the mass spectrum is called the base peak 7. What is the base peak in Figure 1?

Answer 1

2 Isotopic mass is useful in the mass spechometry. Isotopic mass provide us relative aboundance of pesticules atom of molecule. based on their relative eboundance we can predict which atom is present. In above spectra 12e has selatine aboundance of 98-93-% and remaing 1.011 is of Be. Ans y -aris is the aboundance of the cetom or moleale. indicates peak height relative aboundance in the mass spectra. is the x-aris molecular mass ratio on charge. le m/2 atom to the Compoud ratio. compound. on the is the charge obsered mass of c = 12.000 o Erepected mass of c = 12.011 M/2 = 12.00 is the base peak in. the mass spectra it is most intense peak in mass spectra
