The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 56.11% an
an M+1 peak of 5.70%. How many carbon atoms are in the compound? (Fill in an integer number)
Mass spectrometry is often used to both identify and quantify compounds. What is different between mass spectra with changing concentrations of a compound? How would you design a method (i.e. what would you need) to both identify and quantify a compound using mass spectrometry?
2. In a mass spectrum of a compound, the following data
(intensity) is given. M+ = 80, M+ +1 = 8.8, M+ +2 = 26. This
compound will have
carbons and will contain
a
