(a)
Interpretation:
The type of mass spectrum used for molecular mass of compound and reason for using this mass spectrum is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The mass spectrum of a compound is obtained by the ionization of the compound. The ionization can be done by using electron ionization or chemical ionization. The type in which the spectrum of compound obtained is simple and the process of the method is easy.
Answer to Problem 20.19QAP
The chemical ionization of the mass spectrum is used for molecular mass of a compound.
Explanation of Solution
The mass spectrum obtained by chemical ionization is used for molecular mass of compound because the molecular structure of the compound is disturbed in electron ionization. In electron ionization bombardment of electrons and photons is used to produce secondary ions. The energy consumed in electron ionization is high and the exact molecular structure is not obtained. If the molecular structure of the compound is different, then the mass spectrum obtained is also different and the molecular mass of the compound cannot be determined.
The chemical ionization process to obtain a spectrum of a compound is simple and consumes low energy. Thus, the chemical ionization of the mass spectrum is used for molecular mass of a compound.

Interpretation:
The type of ionization source in tendom mass spectrometer and reason for using this is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The mass spectrum is the plot between the relative abundance and mass to charge ratio. The mass spectrum is different for the same substance. The relative abundance represents the y-axis and the mass to charge ratio represents the x-axis. The heights of the peaks represent the relative intensity. The peak with the highest value in the plot is called the base peak. All the calculations are made with respect to this base peak. The structural information can be obtained by fragmentation of molecules in the sample.
Answer to Problem 20.19QAP
The electronic ionization is used to get the structural information of the compound because the single unpaired electron is obtained by electronic ionization.
Explanation of Solution
The fragmentation pattern is obtained by passing the vaporized organic sample from the ionization chamber. This vaporized organic sample is then bombarded by the stream of electrons and positive ions are obtained. This positive ion is called molecular ion and consists of a single unpaired electron. This single unpaired electron is obtained by the electronic ionization process. The peak in the mass spectra with value

Interpretation:
The types of mass spectra obtained from the MS/MS experiment is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The mass spectrometry is a technique used to find the structure and chemical properties of different molecules. In the process of mass spectrometry, different molecules are converted into ions. The ions are separated by the mass to charge ratio and detected by relative abundance in the sample. The mass spectrum of ion is obtained by plotting the mass to charge ratio and relative abundance of the ion in a sample.
Answer to Problem 20.19QAP
The type of mass spectra obtained from MS/MS experiment by:
(1) Holding the first analyzer constant and scanning the second analyzer is product ion spectra.
(2) Scanning both analyzers with a small
(3) Scanning the first analyzer and holding the second analyzer constant is precursor ion spectra.
(4) Scanning the second mass analyzer for every mass-selected by the first mass analyzer is three-dimensional spectra.
Explanation of Solution
(1) The ion spectra obtained in the MS/MS experiment is very different from each other for any compound. The product ion spectra of the compound are obtained in the MS/MS experiment by holding the first analyzer constant and scanning the second analyzer.
(2).When the difference between mass to charge ratio to different ions is very small, by scanning both analyzers, then ions are detected by analyzing the neutral loss spectrum.
(3) The compounds with the same products in ions are identified by determining the concentration of ions in each compound. If ions are detected by scanning the first mass analyzer and keeping the second mass analyzer constant, then precursor ion spectra are obtained in the MS/MS experiment.
(4) If ions are detected by selecting ions in the first mass analyzer and scanned by the second mass analyzer, then the three-dimensional spectrum is obtained in the MS/MS experiment.
