Why electric field is used in mass spectrometer?
The electromagnetic field used in a mass spectrometer is used to guide the sample ions in the right direction, towards the detector. It interacts with charged particles (ions), and depending on their weight and charge, they curve a different amount, landing on different parts of the detector, and thus allowing their molecular weight to be determined.
What instrument measures atomic mass?
A very accurate mass spectrometer is needed.
How do you distinguish isotopes by mass spectrometer?
Isotopes (of the same element) have different mass, this is measured by the mass spectrometer
How can isotpes of carbon be separated?
Mass spectrometer. (and centrifuges)
Why you keep low pressure in mass spectrometer?
prevents collisions
How does a spectrometer work?
The mass spectrometer is an instrument which can measure the masses and relative concentrations of atoms and molecules. It makes use of the basic magnetic force on a moving charged particle. After ionization,acceleration and selection of single velocity particles the ions move into a mass spectrometer region where the radius of the path and thus the position on the detector is a function of the mass.
What information is obtained from a mass spectrometer?
A mass spectrometer detects what percent of an element each isotope is present in. For example, hydrogen comes in three forms, with one proton in each one and zero, one, and two neutrons. A mass spectrometer fires ions of the hydrogen atoms, which are flung out at different parts of the detector. All of the hydrogen of one type falls onto the same part of the detector, thus allowing us to determine how much of each isotope there is.

What is the name of the instrument used to measure the relative abundance of an isotope?
This would be done in a mass spectrometer.
What is the device used to determine atomic masses?
spectrometer
Give a reason why it is unlikely that an F- ion would reach the detector in a mass spectrometer?
It's because the F- is a negatively charged ion, therefore it would not be attracted to the negative plate so it's not accelerated and thus it would not reach the detector.
How do you determine the mass of atom using mass spectrometer?
Actually in mass spectrometer the isotopes of an element are separated by applying magnetic field.Each isotope is then compared with carbon-12 to get the atomic mass of that isotope.
What rhymes with mass spectrometer?
Das Volkswagen?
Is difference of mass number is calculated by electron microscope?
no, the mass spectrometer.
How did the mass spectrometer advance the periodic table?
Using mass spectrometer, one can identify and/or separate the isotopes of the elements and also predict its composition in a given mixture.
