After submitting a sample for mass spectral analysis you are given the following spectrum: 100 80 40 20 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 m/z You know that your sample is either 3-pentanone or 3-pentanol. 3-pentanone 3-pentanol Part A: How could you use the mass spectrum above as your only means to determine if your sample is either 3-pentanone or 3- pentanol? Note that the spectrum above lacks a molecular ion. Part B: What is the identity of the sample which provided you with spectrum above: 3-pentanone or 3-pentanol? Relative Intensity
