A
  • A vaporised sample is injected at low pressure
  • An electron gun fires high energy electrons at the sample
  • This knocks out an outer electron
  • Forming positive ions with different charges

Q

Describe Electro spray ionisation.

A
  • The sample is dissolved in a volatile, polar solvent
  • Injected through a fine hypodermic needle giving a fine mist or aerosol
  • The tip of the needle has a high voltage
  • At the tip of the needle the sample molecule, M, gains a proton, H+, from the solvent forming MH+
  • M(g) + H+ -> MH+(g)
  • The solvent evaporates away while the MH+ ions move towards a negative plate.

Q

Describe acceleration.

A
  • Positive ions are accelerated by an electric field

- To a constant kinetic energy

39
Q

Rearrange this equation to calculate the velocity of the particles in a TOF max spectrometer.

KE = 1/2 m v^2

A

v = √2KE/m

KE = Kinetic energy of the particle (J)
m = Mass of the particle (kg)
v = velocity of the particle(ms-1)
40
Q

Do lighter particles have a slower or faster velocity than heavier particles in a TOF mass spectrometer?

A

Given that all the particles have the same kinetic energy, the velocity of each particle depends on its mass.
Lighter particles have a faster velocity, and heavier particles have a slower velocity.

41
Q

How are ions distinguished in a TOF mass spectrometer?

A

The ions are distinguished by different flight times.

  • Heavier particles take longer to move through the ion drift area in the flight tube.
  • Smaller m/z ratios will move faster
42
Q

Give the equation of how you calculate TOF in a TOF mass spectrometer.

A

t = d√m/2KE

t = time of flight (s)
d = length of flight tube (m)
v = velocity of the particle (ms-1)
43
Q

Describe detection in TOF mass spectrometry.

A

The ions reach the detector and generate a small current, which is fed to a computer for analysis. The current is produced by electrons in transferring from the detector to the positive ions. The size of the current is proportional to the abundance of the species.

44
Q

What does a TOF mass spectrometer measure?

A

For each isotope, the mass spectrometer can measure a m/z (mass/charge ratio) and an abundance.

45
Q

What would the m/z ratio be of a Mg2+ ion?

A

24/2

m/z = 12

Q

A
  1. The attraction of the nucleus.
    - The more protons in the nucleus, the greater the attraction.
  2. The distance of the electrons from the nucleus.
    - The bigger the atom, the further the outer electrons are from the nucleus and the weaker attraction to the nucleus.
  3. Shielding of the attraction of the nucleus.
    - An electron in an outer shell is repelled by electrons in complete inner shells, weakening the attraction to the nucleus.
88
Q

What information does the patterns in successive ionisation energies for an element give us?

A

The patterns in successive ionisation energies for an element give us important information about the electronic structure for that element.

89
Q

Why are successive ionisation energies always larger than the first ionisation energy?

A

When the first electron is removed, a positive ion is formed. The ion increases the attraction on the remaining electrons and so the energy required to remove the next electron is larger.
