Instructions: Select the most reasonable formula for the compounds with the following mass spectral data. Refer to instructions. M⁺ at m/z = 216 A) C₆H₁₃OCl B) C₄H₈Br₂ C) C₁₀H₁₆ D) C₉H₁₂O

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mass spectral data has four peaks and their relative intensities are given as follows: M⁺: m/z = 216 Relative Intensity: 1:1:12:4 The sum of the atomic weights of the suggested formula of option B gives a molecular weight of approximately 216, which matches the mass spectrometry data. Therefore, option B is the most reasonable formula for the given mass spectral data.
