Mass spectrometer separates ions on the basis of which of the following?
A. Mass
B. Charge
C. Molecular weight
D. Mass to charge ratio
Answer:D
Mass spectrometer separates ions on the basis of which of the following?
A. Mass B. Charge C. Molecular weight D. Mass to charge ratio
Explanation: Mass spectrometer separates ions on the basis of mass to charge ratio. Most of the ions are singly charged. Hence, the mass to charge ratio is equal to the mass.
