Chapter 3, Problem 3.7VP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The identification of the graph that corresponds to ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is to be done.

Concept introduction: Mass spectroscopy is used for the characterization of unknown compounds. It is a plot of relative intensity Vs mass to charge ratio of ion. The highest peak in mass spectrum corresponds to the molecular ion.

To determine: If the given graph corresponds to ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ or ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: If the given graph corresponds to ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ or ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.
