3. if the intensity of an M+2 peak is 4.4% of the molecular ion's intensity, what element is present?

a) sulfur, b) bromine, c) chlorine

4. A compound shows a weak molecular ion at m/z = 142 and intense fragment peak at m/z = 124. What functional group most likely is present?

a) an ester, b) a ketone, c) an alcohol

5. Mass spectrometers are run at very low pressure to

a) ensure that intermolecular colllisions do not occur, b) ionize the sample, c) pull the ions though the instrument

8. Which nucleus has a higher equilirium population excess of its alpha-spin state?

a) 1H, b) 13C, c) both

9. two compounds that are regioisomeric

10. the rate-determining step in the addition of hydrogen bromide to cyclopentane

Explanation / Answer

1. H1 NMR detect only proton envrionment.

2.two spin states

3. sulfur

4. Ketone

5. ensure that intermolecular colllisions do not occur

6. (Z) -3-methylhex-3-ene

7.non-diastereoselective

8.13C

9. 1-bromopropane & 2-bromopropane

10. It should be rate-determining step in the addition of hydrogen bromide to cyclopentene

answer is protonation.
