A compound has an M-/M-2 ratio of 75:25. Which of the following could be the molecular formula of this compound? a) CH2Br2 b) CH2Cl2 c) CHCI d) CH:Bre) CHF

c) CH₃Cl

Explanation:

Due the relative abundance of chlorine and bromine. It is possible to determine which of the halogens is present in a mass spectrum of a organic compound:

The Cl-35, Cl-37 have a relative abundance of 75/25; Br-79 and Br-81 of 50/50.

For that reason, if a compound has a M/M+2 ratio of 75:25 you can be sure the compound has 1 Cl in its structure. Thus, the only possible structure is:
