High resolution mass spectrometry: This method allows
Masses are generally not whole number integers, for example 1 proton =
One
All atoms other than
Nominal mass: The nominal mass for an element is the mass number of it is most abundant naturally occurring stable isotope and for an ion or given molecule the nominal mass is the sum of the nominal masses of the constituent atoms.
Example: The exact mass of the most abundant isotopes of each element
For example hydrogen

- Write molecular formulas for compounds that show the following molecular ions in their high-resolution mass spectra, assuming that C, H, N, and O might be present. The exact atomic masses are: 1.007 83 (1H), 12.000 00 (12C), 14.003 07 (14N), 15.994 91 (16O). (a) M+=98.0844 (b) M+=123.0320arrow_forwardWhat fragments might you expect in the mass spectra of the following compounds?arrow_forwardFollowing is the mass spectrum of bromocyclopentane. The molecular ion m/z 148 is of such low intensity that it does not appear in this spectrum. Assign structural formulas for the cations of m/z 69 and 41.arrow_forward
- Following is the mass spectrum of an unknown compound. The two highest peaks are at m/z 120 and 122. Suggest a structure for this compound. (Data from http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/.)arrow_forwardThe mass spectrum and 13C NMR spectrum of a hydrocarbon are shown. Propose a structure for this hydrocarbon, and explain the spectral data.arrow_forwardThe molecular ions of both C5H10S and C6H14O appear at m/z 102 in low-resolution mass spectrometry. Show how determination of the correct molecular formula can be made from the appearance and relative intensity of the M + 2 peak of each compound.arrow_forward
- In the mass spectrum of an unknown organic compound, the molecular ion had a relative abundance of 20.9 while the M+1 had a relative abundance of 1.2. Estimate the number of carbons in the molecule.arrow_forwardMass spectroscopic. What is the isotopic peak pattern of each : Organic compound with 2 bromine atoms. Organic compound with 2 chlorine atoms.arrow_forwardOn each mass spectrum above, indicate the base peak and the molecular ion peak (or at least where you would expect to find it) and if the base peak on the mass spectrum for linalool has m/z 71, propose a structure for this fragment ion.arrow_forward
