Answer:
The experimental feature of the MALDI-MS technique which allows the separation of ions formed after the adduction of tissue molecules:
B) Velocity of ions depends on the ion mass-to-charge ratio.
Explanation:
- The option a is not correct as distance traveled by ions doesn't depend upon the ion charge rather it depends upon time for which you leave the sample to run.
- The option b is correct as velocity of ions depends on the ion mass-to-charge ratio because separation is done due to mass to charge ratio feature.
- The option c is incorrect as time of travel is not inversely proportional to the ion-to-mass ratio because the ion will move across the gel until you stop the electric field.
- The option d is not correct as electric field between MALDI plate and MS analyzer is though uniform but this feature doesn't allow the separation of ions.
What is the question exactly?
Answer:
- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.
- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since molarity is mathematically defined as the moles of solute divided by the volume of solution and the weight/weight percent as the mass of solute divided by the mass of solution, we need:
- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.
- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.
For instance, if a 1-M solution of HCl has a density of 1.125 g/mL, we can compute the w/w% as follows:

Whereas the first factor corresponds to the molar mass of HCl, the second one the conversion from L to mL of solution and the third one the density to express in terms of grams of solution.
Regards.
