How does changing the magnetic field strength in a magnetic
sector mass spectrometer affect which ions reach the
detector?
answers are: increase in magnetic field strength = ions with larger
m/z reaching the detector, increase in magnetic field strength =
ions with smaller m/z reaching the detector, or decrease in
magnetic field strength = ions with larger m/z reaching the
detector
How does changing the accelerating voltage in a magnetic sector
mass spectrometer affect which ions reach the detector?
answers are: increase in accelerating voltage = ions with larger
m/z reaching the detector, decrease in accelerating voltage = ions
with larger m/z reaching the detector, or decrease in accelerating
voltage = ions with smaller m/z reaching the detector
I'm struggling with this because I don't understand how the size
of the various ions affects this. I understand that heavier ions
are not deflected enough to reach the detector, and that lighter
ions are deflected too much to reach it, but I can't find anything
in my book about exactly how changing the magnetic field strength +
voltage affects the heavier/ligher ions in this kind of mass
spectrometry. The book beats around the bush and hints at it but
doesn't give the answers in the context of how changing each
differs in the SIZES of ions reaching the detector.
Thanks.

Explain how a mass spectrometer is used to separate ions of different mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios by placing the statements in the order in which they occur. First step Gaseous ions are created in the ion source. The ions enter the vacuum chamber of the mass spectrometer A magnetic field is applied to the ions. The ions are deflected by the magnetic field. The velocity of the ions is increased as they pass through metal plates with a voltage applied to...
In a magnetic sector mass spectrometer, would the measured mass increase or decrease if you: 1). Increase the accelerating potential 2). Decrease the magnetic field Thank you for the help!
The figure below shows a mass spectrometer, an analytical instrument used to identify the various molecules in a sample by measuring their charge-to-mass ratio e/m. The sample is ionized, the positive ions are accelerated (starting from rest) through a potential difference ΔV, and they then enter a region of uniform magnetic field. The field bends the ions into circular trajectories, but after just half a circle they either strike the wall or pass through a small opening to a detector....
In a mass spectrometer, a student needs to find the strength of the electric field that is needed in the velocity sector if a single charged particle with a mass of 7.971x10^-26 kg after leaving the velocity sector is to hit the ceiling 0.036 m above the opening where it enters the region with only magnetic field. There is no E field. The value of the magnetic field is 0.025 T in the entire mass spec. A) what is the...
A mass spectrometer, sketched below, is a device used to separate different ions. Such ions with a well-defined velocity vo enter through a slit into a region of uniform magnetic field B, where they follow a semicircular path until they strike the detector slit above the entry slit. The distance between the entry and the detector slits is d = 1.90 m. a.) Chlorine ions of mass 35 amu (1 amu equals 1.66x10-27 kg), carrying a charge of +1e, enter...
(Figure 1) shows a mass spectrometer, an analytical instrument used to identify the various molecules in a sample by measuring their charge-to-mass ratio q/m. The sample is ionized, the positive ions are accelerated (starting from rest) through a potential difference ΔV, and they then enter a region of uniform magnetic field. The field bends the ions into circular trajectories, but after just half a circle they either strike the wall or pass through a small opening to a detector. As...
In mass spectrometry, a sample’s molecules are ionized in a vacuum and then exposed to a uniform electric field created by a high-voltage plate in the acceleration chamber. The electric field accelerates the ions until they arrive at the next section of the device, designated as the separation chamber. In this section, the drifting ions are sorted by their mass-to-charge ratio (m/q). The separation chamber in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) is linear and has no electric or magnetic fields....
2. The Mass Spectrometer (8 pts): Sodium ions (charge te) are accelerated from rest at plate A through a voltage difference of Δν-1 kV to plate B. Some of the ions pass through a small slit in plate B to enter into a region of uniform magnetic field (the shaded region in the diagram) (a) Which plate is at a higher potential, A or B? Calculate the speed of the Na+ ions when they reach the slit in 5 plate...
How does seafloor spreading relate to magnetic reversals? The strength of the magnetic field will affect the width of the seafloor segment being produced. Parallel segments of seafloor form perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Iron particles in cooling basalt align with the location of the current magnetic North Pole. There is no connection between seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals. Magnetic strength will affect the formation of submarine volcanoes. What role do mantle plumes play in mantle convection?...
