The diagram represents a mass spectrum for HCl.

NOTE : Only positive ions produce peaks in a mass spectrum since the substance is initially bombarded with electrons such that it loses one electron from a shared pair or a lone pair due to collision.

Hence for part 1 => 35Cl+
Second answer is 1H37Cl+

As for the third part, we must use the relative abundance of the two isotopes and multiply them by the Ar of the respective isotope. Then the sum of these two values is divided by the total amount of substance, in terms of abundance.

Relative atomic mass of Cl = (75(35) + 25(37))/(75 + 25) = 35.5


Just showing the above equation should be enough to score all the marks ;)

What would I get if I had to react these 2 organic compounds?
Please explain any substitutions and/or additions.
Thanks in advance.

That may depend on the conditions.

But the most appropriate reaction might be between the hydroxyl group of Y to the carboxylic group of Z to form an ester.

An alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid to give an ester and water. Therefore it will be a condensation reaction whereby the H from alcohol and the OH from carboxylic acid combine to form water while the remaining compound joins together to give an ester. ;)

Thats right, it would form an ester and water for sure

Crap. Sorry about that. It's question 5 from May/June 2009 Paper 2, Variant 2. Please check it out and get back to me.

Attached is the answer from the marking scheme.

It makes sence to work backwards from U.
Add an -OH and an -H to the alkene.....then your done

I can't explain the mechanism..if they say they react, then i believe them...i just know how to find the product

Aldehydes react with each other apparently.

Yeah..........you have only one choice here. You need to work back from U.

It has been said that T contains one OH group and form U, we may easily identify the presence of an aldeyde group. However it cannot be the conversion of a primary alcohol to an aldehyde since we can note that T has 2 oxygen atoms.

So it is bound to contain an OH group on one of the carbon carrying the C=C.

T is converted into U by using concentrated sulfuric acid which is a dehydrating agent and will cause the elimination of water from T top form U

Type of reaction : Elimination reaction or dehydration.

b) U contains two functional groups. You can name any one of them and identify them using the appropriate substance.

Example :
Alkene -----> It decolourises bromine.
Ketone -----> It gives an orange precipitate with 2,4 DNPH

Hope it helps :)

43 - 7 = 36

Therefore 95 - 36 = 59 pm. IDK :D

Continuous efforts matter more than the outcome.
