1
Q
How can the molecular mass of a molecule be determined from its mass spectrum?
A
The peak with the greatest m//z value corresponds to m/z equal to the molecular mass
2
Q
What is the M+1 peak in a mass spectrum?
A
The small peak with an m/z of one more than the molecular peak, caused by some molecules containing carbon-13 isotopes
