IB skill practice

Interpret mass spectra and isotope patterns

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

Mass-to-charge value

An ion in a mass spectrum from a Melbourne HL chemistry seminar has mass \(71\) and charge \(2+\). Calculate \(m/z\). Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
