Step by step solution

01

Definition 

The total number of unsaturation contained in an organic molecule is known as the Double Bond Equivalence (DBE), and an unsaturation is defined as a double bond or a cyclic or ring system.

We must determine the structure of the provided chemicals in this challenge.

If we know the molecular formula of a molecular ion, we may calculate the number of rings and double bonds:

R+DB=c-h2+h2+1...(1)

Here,

c = The number of atoms in group 14 (make four bonds)

h = The number of halogen atoms in the H+ state (make one bond)

n = The number of atoms in group 15 (make three bonds)

Group 16 atoms, such as O and S, are not included in the calculatio

02

Creating plausible structure C11H18N2O3

The number of atoms in group 14 is 11, the number of atoms in group H is 18, and the number of atoms in group 15 is 2.

So, to get the number of rings and double bonds, we plug data into equation 1

R+DB=11-182+22+1=4

One ring and three double bonds are possible in a molecule.

As a result, the structure is as follows:

03

Creating plausible structure C12H15BrNPOS

The number of atoms in group 14 is 12, the number of atoms in group H+ halogen is 1 5+1, and the number of atoms in group 15 (N+P) is 1 + 1.

So, to get the number of rings and double bonds, we plug data into equation 1:

R+DB=12-15+12+1+12+1=6

Two rings and four double bonds are possible in a molecule.

As a result, the structure is as follows:

04

Creating plausible structure C3H5+

The number of atoms in group 14 is three, while the number of atoms in group H is five.

So, to find the number of rings and double bonds, we plug data into equation 1.

R+DB=3-52+02+1=1.5

One double bond is possible in the molecule. We have a fraction, and the C atom has three bonds (rather than four), thus we have 1.5.

As a result, the structure is as follows:

The molecular ion region in the mass spectrum of a large molecule, such as a protein, consists of a cluster of peaks differing by 1 Da. This pattern occurs because a molecule with many atoms has a high probability of containing one or several atoms of C1315N,18O,2Hand 32S. In fact, the probability of finding a molecule with only C1214N,16O,1Hand 32S may be so small that the nominal molecular ion is not observed. The electrospray mass spectrum of the rat protein interleukin-8 consists of a series of clusters of peaks arising from intact molecular ions with different charge. One cluster has peaks at m/z 1 961.12, 1 961.35, 1 961.63, 1 961.88, 1 962.12 (tallest peak), 1 962.36, 1 962.60, 1 962.87, 1 963.10, 1 963.34, 1 963.59, 1 963.85, and 1 964.09. These peaks correspond to isotopic ions differing by 1 Da. From the observed peak separation, fi nd the charge of the ions in this cluster. From m/z of the tallest peak, estimate the molecular mass of the protein.

Would the answers be different if m/z 5 500 were an ion with a mass

of 1 000 Da and z 5 2?

(a) To detect the drug ibuprofen by liquid chromatography– mass spectrometry, would you choose the positive or negative ion mode for the spectrometer? Would you choose acidic or neutral chromatography solvent? State your reasons.

(b)If the unfragmented ion has an intensity of 100, what should be the intensity of M+1?

34: What is collisionally activated dissociation? At what points in a mass spectrometer does it occur?

Chlorate (CIO-3), chlorite (CIO-2), bromate (BrO-3), and iodate (IO-3)can be measured in drinking water at the 1-ppb level with 1% precision by selected reaction monitoring. Chlorate and chlorite arise from CIO2used as a disinfectant. Bromate and iodate can be formed from Br-or I-when water is disinfected with ozone O3. For the highly selective measurement of chlorate, the negative ion selected by Q1 in Figure 22-33 is m/z 83 and the negative ion selected by Q3 is m/z 67. Explain how this measurement works and how it distinguishes CIO3-from CIO2-, BrO3-, andIO3-
