Question:
Calculate the intensities of the M+1 and M+2 peaks for benzamide (C7H7NO). Compare these intensities to those shown in Figure 3.
Answer:
%(M+1) = (1.1 x 7) + (0.016 x 7) + (0.38 x 1) = 8%
%(M+2) = [(1.1 x 7)2 / 200] + [(0.016 x 7)2 / 200] + (0.20 x 1) = 0.5%
Therefore, these calculated intensities match those in Figure 3.
