By knowing the natural abundance of minor isotopes, it's possible to calculate the relative heights of M* and M+1 peaks. If natural abundances are 12C - 98.9% and 13C - 1.10%, what are the relative heights, to the nearest 0.1%, of the M* and M+1 peaks in the mass spectrum of lactic acid, C3H,03? Ignore the contributions of isotopes like ²H (deuterium; 0.015% natural abundance) and 17o (0.04% natural abundance) that are small. The relative heights are, in order of increasing mass: 100 to

Consider a mixture of the two solids, BaCl2 ∙ 2H2O (FM 244.26) and KCl (FM 74.551). When the mixture is heated to 160°C for 1 h, the water of crystallization is driven off: BaCl2 ∙ 2H2O(s) BaCl2(s) + 2H2O(g) A sample originally weighing 1.7839 g weighed 1.5623 g after heating. Calculate wt% Ba, K, and Cl in the original sample. (Hint: The mass loss tells how much water was lost, which tells how much BaCl2 ∙ 2H2O was present. The remainder of the sample is KCl.)
