What information does mass spectrometry provide?

Answer 1

Quite a bit.

You can determine relative atomic mass, identify isotopes, and determine abundance using an elemental sample.

You can determine the relative molecular mass if the sample is molecular.

Fragmentation can occur if ionization is achieved by electron impact; identifying the fragments aids in the resolution of structure. Fragmentation does not occur if electrospray ionization is used.

Mass spectrometry provides information about the mass-to-charge ratio of ions, allowing for the determination of molecular weight, identification of chemical structures, and quantification of compounds in a sample. Additionally, it can provide insights into the isotopic composition of elements within a molecule and the presence of impurities or contaminants.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
