B4 Organic Analysis Flashcards
What does the furthest right peak on a mass spectrometer show
Total molecular mass
What to look for on a mass spectrometer
- Peak furtherst right
- Frangmentation peaks with high relative intensisites
What do fragmentation peaks with high relative intensisites show on a mass spectrometer
Common fragments
How to explain mass spectrometry fragmentation
- Molecular ion of X shows total molecular mass
- M/Z of 29 suggests Ch3Ch2+
- Include all peaks with high relative intensities
What must be included on all mass spectrometry annotations
A positive charge
What does infrared do to covalent bonds
Causes them to vibrate more and absorb more energy
What is the issue with methane
Causes and contributes to global warming
What in infrared spectroscopy used in
- Monitor gases causing air pollution
- Breathelysers to measure ethanol in the breath
What must you always ignore in infrared anaysis
The fingerprint reigon to the right
What to always look out for in infrared analysis
- C=O (aldehyde or ketone)
- O-H (alcohol)
- C=O and Broad O-H (carboxylic acid)
When explaining in infrared, what must always be included with each point
- Peak range and where peak is present
- Type of bond
- Functional group
What type of functional group and bond is shown of this infrared
- C=O
- Aldehyde or ketone
What type of functional group and bond is shown of this infrared
- C=O
- C-O (BROAD)
- Carboxylic Acid
What type of functional group and bond is shown of this infrared
- O-H (Not broad)
- Alcohol
