Surely as you increase the magnetic field strength it would allow molecules with a LARGER mass/charge ratio to reach the detector since they have a higher momentum and require a higher force for deflection.

Unless I am missing something - you are right.

You should find this link useful: https://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysis/masspec/howitworks.html#top

Also if you are studying UK A-level chemistry I would encourage you to explore the chemguide site. It is pitched at UK A-level and is very extensive in its subject matter. It is also reliable in its information.

High School Chemistry Forum / Mass spectrometry A level
« Last post by plasos on November 19, 2024, 05:05:42 AM »
Hi.

I’ve read through the mass spectrometry process many times but it says in my A level book that “the magnetic field strength is slowly increased.  As this happens different ions (ones with lower mass/charge ratio) can reach the detector”

Surely as you increase the magnetic field strength it would allow molecules with a LARGER mass/charge ratio to reach the detector since they have a higher momentum and require a higher force for deflection.

I’m fairly new to chemistry but feel convinced that the textbook is mistaken

High School Chemistry Forum / Re: What silver solutions will reduce with copper?
« Last post by Hunter2 on November 19, 2024, 02:05:42 AM »
Silveracetate would work. The others all more or less not soluble in water.You could try to dissolve silveroxide in nitric acid to produce silver nitrate.  The halogenids can be dissolved in ammonia or Thiosulfate.

High School Chemistry Forum / What silver solutions will reduce with copper?
« Last post by Grizzly Road on November 18, 2024, 06:16:06 PM »
I want to do the silver reducing on copper wire reaction for a stoichiometry lab.  BUT I have no silver nitrate left and our budget is very very small.  I did find silver acetate, silver bromide, silver chloride, silver oxide.  I'm hoping someone can tell me if any of these would work.  I did some reading and could see some problems, but I'm hoping someone can just tell me. 
Thank you!

Organic Chemistry Forum / Benedict Reagent, semi-quantitative test for glucose
« Last post by rentj on November 18, 2024, 06:13:59 AM »
I had a practical exam today, which I create solutions of glucose with different concentrations (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%), put Benedict's reagent, and observe the color change. In each test tube, I added 1 mL of the solution and 2 mL of the Benedict reagent, total of 3 mL. And then I heated the test tube in a water bath at 50-60 deg C until I observe a color change. The result is attached, where the top one is 2%, 1.5%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, and 0% (very bottom). I expected a color change from blue to red (green, yellow, orange) for each glucose solution, however only red precipitate that appears in my test tube. Besides that, my peers' result showed the expected result (the color gradient). What could be the error behind my result? Thank you.

Think what kind of compound  is Aspirin.
Think of saponification of this  class of compounds.

High School Chemistry Forum / Any idea?
« Last post by Virs1959 on November 17, 2024, 11:10:08 PM »
Hi!

I was wondering why is the hydrolysis of aspirin faster in environments of a higher pH? I noticed this while testing out different buffer solutions, but cannot seem to find an explanation anywhere, only that the higher the pH the faster the rate of reaction.

Thank you in advance!

Red phosphorus is not reacting with water.
White phosphorous does, but it needs alcaline environment.
