Homework Statement



Spec diagrams are attached, could someone see if i am correct so far with these questions

1)Which types of bonds can be identified in the IR spectrum of molecule B? carbonyl group i believe

2) By identifying the molecular ion, determine which of the molecular formula is consistent with the mass spectrum of B. C2H4O i believe


3)How many hydrogen environments are there in molecule B? 2 signals so 2 peaks

4)The peak at 2.7 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum of B is most likely to be:

5)Identify molecule B ? not sure guys

can someonehelp in q4 and 5

cheers

FAQ: Expert Help with Mass Spectroscopy Homework: IR & NMR Analysis for Molecule B

What is mass spectroscopy and how does it work?

Mass spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to identify and quantify the chemical components of a sample. It works by ionizing the molecules in the sample and separating them based on their mass-to-charge ratio.

What are the different types of mass spectrometers?

There are several types of mass spectrometers, including time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, ion trap, and magnetic sector. Each type has its own strengths and limitations, and is used for different applications.

What are the major applications of mass spectrometry?

Mass spectrometry is used in a wide range of fields, including pharmaceuticals, environmental analysis, forensics, and proteomics. It can be used to identify unknown substances, analyze complex mixtures, and measure the concentration of compounds in a sample.

What are the common challenges in interpreting mass spectrometry data?

Interpreting mass spectrometry data can be challenging due to the complexity of the spectra and the potential for interference from other compounds. Additionally, understanding the software used for data analysis and instrument settings can also be a hurdle.

How can I improve my mass spectrometry results?

To improve mass spectrometry results, it is important to optimize instrument parameters and sample preparation techniques. It may also be helpful to consult with experts or reference databases, and to use multiple analytical methods for confirmation.
