(choose chapter or problem)

While13C is the main contributor to the (M+1)+ peak, there are many other elements that can also contribute to the (M+1)+ peak. For example, there are two naturally occurring isotopes of nitrogen. The most abundant isotope, 14N, represents 99.63% of all nitrogen atoms on Earth. The other isotope, 15N, represents 0.37% of all nitrogen atoms. In a compound with molecular formula C8H11N3, if the molecular ion peak has a relative abundance of 24.5%, then what percent abundance do you expect for the (M+1)+ peak?
