Question 1.
What is ionization?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the effect of energy on an atom.
Question 2.
Name one component of a mass spectrometer.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what helps sort the ions.
3Question 3.
What is the primary role of the mass analyzer in mass spectrometry?
- To ionize samples
- To separate ions based on mass-to-charge ratio
- To detect molecular weight
Show hintHide hint
Remember its main function in the mass spectrometry setup.
4Question 4.
True or False: The mass spectrum provides details about the molecular weight of the whole compound.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what information the spectrum actually displays.
Question 5.
Given a mass spectrum with m/z ratios of 91, 106, and 120, identify which known compounds it might correspond to using hypothetical data.
Show hintHide hint
Use the m/z values to check against common standards in your library.
Question 6.
Consider a sample that contains two components yielding overlapping peaks in a chromatogram. Explain how you would use mass spectrometry to separate and analyze them.
