QUESTION:

Problem 12P

Sketch the mass spectrum expected for 1-chloropropane.

ANSWER:

Solution 12P

The mass spectrometer detects only the presence of cations and radical cations that are produced during the fragmentation.

The compound, 1-chloropropane is initially made to bombard with 70 eV of energy to result in the formation of molecular ion.

The weakest bond is the C-Cl bond that breaks heterolytically to form the halide radical and the alkyl carbocation.
