Can you help me break down the fragmentation of this mass spec spectra? Although the compound is not given, using the H NMR, C NMR and IR spectras that were also given, I found the compound to be CH3-COOH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 (butyl acetate) In this Mass spec, it is given that M+=116 and I have found that fragmenting CH3 is 101, then CH2 is 87, and CH2 again is 73. I am just lost on where to go from there, while being left with CH3-COOH-CH2, because there are multiple peaks between 43 and 73 that I can't seem to figure out. Any help would be great!

5.4.5 Chemical microanalysis5.4.5.1 Exploitation of characteristic X-raysElectron probe microanalysis (EPMA) of bulk samples is now a routine technique for obtaining rapid, accurate analysis of alloys. A small electron probe (100 nm diameter) is used to generate X-rays from a defined area of a polished specimen and the intensity of the various characteristic X-rays measured usingeither wavelength-dispersive spectrometers (WDS) or energy-dispersive spectrometers (EDS). Typically the accuracy of the analysis is š0.1%. One of the limitations of EPMA of bulk samples is that the volume of the sample which contributes to the X-ray signal is relatively independent of the size of theelectron probe, because high-angle elastic scattering of electrons within the sample generates X-rays. The consequence of this is that the spatial resolution of EPMA is no better than ¾2 µm. In the last few years EDX detectors have been interfaced totransmission electron microscopes which are capable of operating…
