2. Bromine exists as two isotopes, 79Br and 81Br in equal amounts and so has a molar mass of 80 g mol–1. How many major molecular ion peaks are there in the mass spectrum of CH2Br2?

  • 3
  • 4
  • 2
  • 1

3. Deuterium oxide is water that contains the stable hydrogen isotope 2H, usually shown as D. When dissolved in deuterium oxide, ethanol undergoes the following reaction: CH3CH2OH + D2O → CH3CH2OD + HOD The best way of showing this reaction has occured

  • is by testing the product with phosphorus pentachloride and not getting steamy fumes
  • is by determining the mass spectrum of the mixture and showing peaks at m/e values of 19 and 47
  • is by determining the mass spectrum of the mixture and showing peaks at m/e values of 20 and 46
  • is by fractionally distilling the mixture and determining the amount of CH3CH2OD using a Geiger counter

4. molecules that absorb IR

  • have bonds that can change polarity
  • have non-polar bonds

5. Which of the following equations for the fragmentation of ethanol, CH3CH2OH, caused by collision with a high-energy electron, e−, would give a peak at m/e = 15 in its mass spectrum?

  • CH3CH2OH → CH3• + ·•CH2OH
  • CH3CH2OH + e− → CH3• + +CH2OH + 2e−
  • CH3CH2OH + e− → CH3+ + •CH2OH + 2e−
  • CH3CH2OH → CH3+ + +CH2OH + 2e−
