Can a low-resolution mass spectrometer distinguish between
C_(2)H_(5)^( )and
CHO^( )? A low-resolution spectrometer cannot distinguish between them because they both have the same molecular mass (29). A low-resolution spectrometer can distinguish between them because they both have different exact molecular masses; o molecular mass of 29.002725 .
◻Request Answer Part B Can a high-resolution mass spectrometer distinguish between them? A high-resolution spectrometer cannot distinguish between them because they both have the same molecular mass (29). A high-resolution spectrometer can distinguish between these ions, because they have different exact molecular masses; or molecular mass of 29.002725 .
