QUESTION:
-Problem 7P
a. Suggest possible molecular formulas for a compound that has a molecular ion with an m/z value of 86.
b. Can one of the possible molecular formulas contain a nitrogen atom?
ANSWER:
Solution 7P
(a)
The compound has m/z value of 86. If we divide the m/z value by 13 then we get 6 and the remainder will be 8. So, it indicates that the molecule contains only C and H in it.
Thus, number of carbons in the molecule is 6 and the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule is
