Document Summary
Chemistry 14c winter 2017 exam 2 page 1. Please use the backs of the data tables page and other exam pages for scratch space. Please do not use the exam margins for this purpose. Begin this exam by gently removing data tables page. The page will be discarded prior to grading. In 2015 a national floor coverings chain store was sued because some of their poorly manufactured products emitted significant levels of formaldehyde, a human carcinogen. Formaldehyde can be produced via decomposition of its cyclic trimer 1,3,5-trioxane. In the air formaldehyde can be oxidized by molecular oxygen to produce formic acid. The presence of formaldehyde and other noxious floor product gases can be determined using mass spectrometry. Formic acid (4) calculate the m/z and relative intensities for the molecular ion portion of the formaldehyde mass spectrum by writing a number in each blank below. Neatly and clearly label all of the important features.
