11) (5 points) Various hydrocarbons, as listed in the table below, are ionized so they may be identified in a mass spectrometer using their charge-to-mass ratio. lon Methane Formula CH4+ C2H62+ C3H8+ q/m (x 106 C/kg) 5.99 6.42 2.18 3.31 1.34 Ethane Propane Butane Pentane C4H102+ C5H12+ A beam of hydrocarbon ions are accelerated across a potential difference of 1616 V and then passed perpendicularly through a magnetic field of 0.25 T. This results in a radius of curvature of 12.5 cm. Determine the identity of the ions using the provided chart and the ion's charge-to-mass ratio.
