Question
Need help with entire problem, Thanks!
Are there any chlorine or bromine atoms in the molecule? (Yes or No) If there are, how many chlorines per molecule? How many bromines? Is there any evidence for any nitrogen atoms in the molecule? (Yes or No) What is the most likely number of nitrogens present? Do any high-mass losses of mass (peaks at > one half the molecular ion mass) suggest the loss of any particular logical (neutral) fragments? If so, show their structure(s) and the quantity of mass lost.Explanation / Answer
From the give mass spectrogram
(i) Are there any chlorine or bromine in the molecule : yes
(ii) If there are, how many chlorine atom in the molecule : 1. how many bromine atom : 0
(iii) Is there any evidence of nitrogen in the molecule : yes
(iv) What is the most likely number of nitrogen present : even 2
(v) Do any high mass loses of mass suggest loss of a particular logical neutral fragments. If so, then structure and the quantity of mass lost : Yes. The mass loss of 46 corresponds to ethanol CH3CH2OH from the structure.
