What is the likeliest m/z value for the base peak in the mass spectrum of 3-methylpentane?

1 answer:

7 0

The base peak in the mass spectrum of 3-methylpentane has the most plausible value at m/z=57. Hydrocarbons often undergo mass spectroscopic fragmentation at a branch.

<h3>What does the mass spectrometry Mz value mean?</h3>

The horizontal axis in a mass spectrum is stated in units of mass divided by charge number, or m/z. With GCMS, z is usually always 1, hence the mass is frequently determined by the m/z value.

The base peak of the spectrum is defined as the peak with the arbitrary intensity value of 100. The molecular ion, which has a peak at m/z=72, is what determines the molecule's molecular mass.

I have 2 samples of solid chalk (aka calcium carbonate). Sample A has a total mass of 4.12 g and Sample B has a total mass of 19

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules

Explanation:

M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

For the 4.12 g sample

Moles of a substance is given by

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.12}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.0411\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.0411\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

For the 19.37 g sample

$n=\dfrac{19.37}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.193\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.193\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

$1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}>2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.

The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.

How many liters of solvent are needed to make a 6.5M solution with 34 mol of solute?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

5.231 L.

Explanation:

Molarity is the no. of moles of solute per 1.0 L of the solution.

<em>M = (no. of moles of KCl)/(Volume of the solution (L))</em>

M = 6.5 M.

no. of moles of solute = 34.0 mol,

Volume of the solution = ??? L.

∴ (6.5 M) = (34.0 mol)/(Volume of the solution (L))

∴ (Volume of the solution (L) = (34.0 mol)/(6.5 M) = 5.231 L.

The formula for the compounds in the reaction are as follows with the respective states
Carbon monoxide - CO (g)
hydrogen - H₂ (g)
methane - CH₄(g)
water - H₂O (l)
reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas gives rise to methane and water
the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows
CO(g) + 3H₂(g) --> CH₄(g) + H₂O(l)

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane is: 2C2H2 + 5O2 CO2 + 2H2O 2CH4 + 5O2 2CO2 + 4H2O 2C4H10 + 13O2 8CO2

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Butane is C₄H₁₀.

$C_4H_{10} + O_2 \to CO_2 + H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{balance carbon and hydrogen on the right-hand side:} \\
C_4 H_{10} + O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{balance oxygen on the left-hand side:} \\
C_4 H_{10} + \frac{13}{2} \ O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction:} \\
2 \ C_4H_{10} + 13 \ O_2 \to 8 \ CO_2 + 10 \ H_2O$

The balanced equation is 2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ <span>→</span> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O.
