Mass spectometry and Infra red

Cards (8)

  • Used to identify unknown substances
  • Isotopes can cause M+1 peaks
  • sample is vaporised, ionised, accelerated, and deflected
  • A fragment of 56 with a 2+ charge would be shown as 28
  • Used to find isotopes and so the relative atomic mass of an element
  • It can also be used to find the relative molecular mass of an element
  • Identify the compound
    A) C3H7Br
  • Infra red is looking at the table and comparing the peaks with the numbers
