Assuming the peaks are caused by 12c and 13c isotopes


Problem- The mass spectrum of an organic compound shows the relative abundances of M to be 63.13% and M+1 to be 15.02%. Assuming the peaks are caused by 12C and 13C isotopes, determine the number of carbon atoms in the compound. Natural abundances: 12C is 98.93% and 13C is 1.07%.

Illustrate structures to prove your interpretation.
