Tutorial on Mass Spectrometry, Isotopes Identification and Option A for SL/HL.

Relative Atomic Mass Isotopes are present

Weighted average mass- due to presence of isotopes

Relative Isotopic Mass, (Ar) of an element:•Relative isotopic mass = Average mass of one atom of element

1/12 x mass of one carbon-12• Relative isotopic mass, carbon = 12.01

RAM = 12.01Relative Abundance 98.9% 1.07%

13

Why RAM is not a whole number?

Relative Isotopic Mass:= (Mass 12C x % Abundance) + (Mass 13C x % Abundance) = (12 x 98.9/100) + (13 x 1.07/100) = 12.01

Radiocarbon/carbon dating

• Half life C-14 = 5730 years• Beta (β/electron ) decay

Carbon -14

Abundance – trace amt (Unstable , radioactive)

How is form?• C-14 produce in stratosphere when….. neutron hit a nitrogen atom to form C-14•C-14 to N-14 by converting neutron proton (proton stay in nucleus), electron emit as β radiation • emit as β ray.

(proton in nucleus – increase proton number)

emit as β ray.

•Ratio C14/C12- constant if alive – TAKE in C14 (C12 constant)•Ratio C14/C12- drop if dead - NOT taking C14. (C12 constant)

Br:Br + e- →[81Br+.81Br] + 2e – 162Br:Br + e- →[79Br+.81Br] + 2e – 160Br:Br + e- →[79Br+.79Br] + 2e– 158

m/z = 79

m/z = 81

Ratio (79Br : 81Br) - 1:1

Mass spectrum Br2 / Br atoms
