At which of the following m/e values would you not expect to find a peak in the mass spectrum of ethanoyl chloride?
Correct answer: C. 4.3
- A. 35.5
- B. 37
- C. 4.3
- D. 78
Explanation
c) 4.3:The m/e value of 4.3 is an unusual and specific value. It is not commonly associated with any ions or fragments that would be expected in the mass spectrum of ethanoyl chloride. Therefore, you would not expect to find a peak at 4.3 in the mass spectrum of ethanoyl chloride.
