We’re being asked to determine the origin of first (mass of 157.836 amu) peak (of what isotopes does each consist).
Mass Spectrometry allows you to determine the molecular weight of an unknown compound through its vaporization and ionization.
Mass spectrometer is used to determine the mass to charge ratio of an unknown compound.
Mass (amu) | Relative Size |
157.836 | 0.2569 |
159.834 | 0.4999 |
161.832 | 0.2431 |
What is the origin of first (mass of 157.836 amu) peak (of what isotopes does each consist)?
