Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass spectrometer identifies a compound with a mass spectrum showing peaks at m/z 78, 77, and 51. Compare this to possible compounds from the library just with these fragments, what does this indicate about the possible identity?

💡 Hint: Think about the common structures of organic compounds and their typical mass peaks.

Question 2

Explain the process of setting up a library for mass spectra comparison. What key details must be included?

💡 Hint: Consider what information is crucial for matching spectra.
