Chapter 13: Q50P (page 612)

A mass spectrum shows significant peaks at m/z = 87, 115, 140, and 143. Which of the following compounds is responsible for that mass spectrum?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The compound is

Step by step solution

01

Mass spectrometry

It is defined as the method to identify the molecular mass of the compound by the charge to mass ratio or by the molecular ion peak production. After getting the molecular formula we can find the degree of unsaturation and determine the possible structure of the compound.

02

Mass spectra are shown by compound

The molecular weight of each alcohol is 158 and the mass to charge ratio peak is at 140 due to loss of water and each alcohol show such peaks.

The peak is produced due to a mass to charge ratio of 87,115,144 are due to the loss of group with five carbon C5H11and methyl group.

But in 2,4,4-trimethyl 4-heptanol losses, all three groups via all have cleavage leading to no mass spectrometry absorption.

Most popular questions from this chapter

A compound is known to be one of those shown here. What absorption bands in its IR spectrum allow you to identify the compound?

Given that the force constants are similar for C卢H and C卢C bonds, explain why the stretching vibration of a C卢H bond occurs at a larger wavenumber.

Phenolphthalein is an acid鈥揵ase indicator. In solutions of pH < 8.5, it is colorless; in solutions of pH > 8.5, it is deep red-purple. Account for the change in color.

Give approximate wavenumbers for the major characteristic IR absorption bands that would be given by each of the following compounds:

Question:How can IR spectroscopy be used to distinguish between the following compounds?

  1. a ketone and an aldehyde
  2. cyclic ketone and an open-chain ketone
  3. benzene and cyclohexane
  4. cis-2-hexene and trans-2-hexene
  5. cyclohexene and cyclohexane
  6. a primary amine and a tertiary amine
