[@wlo23ex81]

Absolutely amazing. Until I found this video, I had so much trouble finding what the small peaks were, since I only found answers for the M+1 and M+2 peaks next to the molecular ion so I got confused if such isotopes were similar to the other smaller fragments.

can mass spectrometer identify the ingredients of coke?

[@neithonosmani9783]

@@zhibaniola6460 I think you need to use both infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrum. Infrared spectroscopy to identify the type of functional groups. Maybe the ingredients can be identified if you know which ingredients have which functional groups I think?

Great explaination. I already learned this but this video is great for refreshing props!

[@Koleys]

I just started an analytical job, and the chemist I’m shadowing tried to explain this to me over the course of 3 hours. I was so overwhelmed because when I learned this is university I used professor Dave’s videos and aced all my exams. But now I’m working with cannabinoids for the first time, and the computer does the majority of this work for you. I’m even more confused now. Sometimes the computer finds a 90% match and we are told to always stick with the computers choice if it’s above an 80%. If it’s below we’re supposed to just compare NIST charts to our results and determine to the best of our abilities. There are about 400 cannabinoid terpenes, and I genuinely don’t know how to approach my job compared to university work. Should I go off and study the NIST charts? Should I just give it time and learn as I go? I’m so lost and everyone I have shadowed at work has been with the company for 4+ years. They suck at teaching because it’s second nature, but I’m not sure how to configure work life. I’m so used to cramming and studying until 3am for lectures. Do I study for work? Or do I keep myself sane?

[@NewWesternFront]

[@freshtahs6555]

this guy is the only reason I would pass chemistry this year

[@koksalan75]

What if we have two or more compounds, let's say pentane and heptane together in a sample? How do we interpret the data then? Is it still possible to interpret ?

[@science75902]

It is even possible to interpret way more complex data ;) But not anymore by simply looking at the spectrum, that would be too complex 😅 then you have to use tools, which compare the spectra with data deposited in databases.

[@Spectrometer]

Your explanation is good but it only accounts for qualitative organic analysis. Mass Spectrometry not only serves to identify molecules but also, for example, counting metal ions in water (ICP-MS, IC-MS, etc.).

[@julianp3385]

Amazing! Keep up the great work! :)

[@christophergoudarzi9992]

Very helpful, thanks so much!

[@Piocoto123]

A way that I found reasonable to understand it is with an analogy to chromatography, but instead of having a solvent, you have a magnetic field and instead of having a retardation factor, you'll have the mass/charge factor which determines the amount of specific -broken- and ionized products instead of distinct substances.. Is this right?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

ooh i like it! yes i think that's a pretty reasonable analogy, higher mass traveling more slowly is analogous to a more polar substance going slower up the plate.

[@مُزهِرة-ر4خ]

A shout out for your helpful explanation

[@Justmyopinionlol]

awesome thanks bruh

[@chris2656]

why do the smaller peaks appear at lower points on the line? Shouldn't they have a greater molecular mass if they correspond to c-13 or H-2 isotopes?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

hmm well it depends on the specific combination of nuclides i suppose, but yes generally we see n+1 peaks very commonly, for one instance of C13 in the molecule for example

[@orca_ah]

I am not quite sure. Is it possible to get a 72+ molecule? because there are no available electron pairs to knock out electrons of without breaking bonds. Say there is no O or N atoms with free electron pairs, all electron pairs are taking part in binding other atoms.

[@orca_ah]

I just found an answer to my question, lol. So the reason why the 72+ molecular ion is possible happens to be that the electron beam can knock out not only valence electrons, but also non valence electrons of an atom. So it is possible for electron beam to knock out some inner electrons of carbon atom resultin in a positive charged carbon - positive charged molecule

[@MHBravo-dn3oc]

*No hate but your diagram isn’t correct for identification...* Pentane is a linear molecule, so it must have a linear trend up... and downwards before and after the third “C” line You wouldn’t also find the “CH3” or M=15 line in a real spectrometer (or really small) The M-line must also be much smaller...

[@ltmc2h694]

[@Serotonin-rs5]

is it possible that elements also gets seperated ie Hydrogen and Carbon, or just whole molecules will only gets ionized ie CH4?

[@orca_ah]

yes, it is possible, those small peaks could also result from separation of H atoms

[@michealwaldrup4357]

Great video! I would've liked some comment on the m+1 peak though, since we can gather some info on # of carbons from the ratio of the M+ and M+1 peaks. Still don't totally get that, but I know I'm supposed to be able to tell number of carbons from it. haha Thanks again.

[@22alison19]

is it right to say that " because the ions have a formal charge of some kind, they have a specific curved charge " ??

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

curved charge? nope i've never heard of that!

[@22alison19]

From what we learned, there is some curve path at the detector caused by the deflection of the charged ion@@ProfessorDaveExplains

[@22alison19]

curved* and each ion is causing a different curve it depending og its charge
