Question

viap Sapling Learning macmillan Calculate the resolving power of a mass spectrometer that gave a mass spectrum with a peak centered at m/z 1087 and a width at the half-height of 0.60m/z units. Number Would you expect this spectrometer to be able to distinguish two peaks found at m/z 700 and m/z 701? yes O no Would you expect this spectrometer to be able to distinguish two peaks found at m/z 6000 and m/z 6001? yes no There is additional feedback available!

Explanation / Answer

Resolution power = M/delta M

= 1087/0.60

= 1812

2) yes this spectrum is able distinguish peaks found at 700 and 701

3) no

this spectrum is unable to distinguish peaks at 6000 and 6001
