Using the technique of mass spectrometry chemists can do what

A

Accurately compare the masses of atoms and molecules

83
Q

The spectrum of an example of mass spectrometry shows a result for a sample of chlorine, it shows two different peaks one with mass of 35 and the other 37 (the peak of Cl 35 is triple the night of Cl 37)

What does the height of the peaks tell you

A

The relative amount of each element present

84
Q

The spectrum of an example of mass spectrometry shows a result for a sample of chlorine, it shows two different peaks one with mass of 35 and the other 37 (the peak of Cl 35 is triple the night of Cl 37)

What is the ratio of relative proportions of Cl-35 and Cl-37

A

3:1

Therefore for every 4 chlorine atoms, 3 of them will be chlorine 35 and one of them will be chlorine 37

85
Q

The spectrum of an example of mass spectrometry shows a result for a sample of chlorine, it shows two different peaks one with mass of 35 and the other 37 (the peak of Cl 35 is triple the night of Cl 37)

Using the info from the spectrum for chlorine work out the average and hence the value for RAM of chlorine. Bare in mind there is a ratio of 3:1

A

Average mass = mass x abundance
——————-
Total abundance

= (3x35) + (1x37) (75x35) + (25x37)
—————– OR ——————-
4 100
= 35.5 =35.5

86
