Answer 6.9
Identify the unknown from its 70 eV EI mass spectrum.
The 13C peak has 11 % of m/z 126 (use a ruler), i.e., one expects roughly 10 carbons.
As there is a [MH]+ peak, m/z 125, the carbon number will be overestimated due to
the fact that the 13C peak of the 35Cl ion and the [MH]+ peak of the 37Cl ion are also
isobars.
Fragmentation scheme:
