Question 3 (8 marks) With reference to the mass spectra (Figure MS1)

Question 3 (8 marks) With reference to the mass spectra (Figure MS1) shown below:- i) Using the information in the mass spectrum identify the likely composition of the main peaks at m/z = 27, 49, 62 and M*= 98. Show your working. ii) Explain the most likely structure of the molecule. iii) Explain why the peaks at 49 and 51 are in a 3:1 ratio? (4 marks) (1 mark) (1 mark) iv) Explain why the molecule gives rise to M** peaks at 98, 100 and 102 in a 9:6:1 ratio?
