Mass spectral analysis of 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone results in several fragmentation pathways. Complete the mechanism below and draw the products for the fragmentation pathway that produces a mass spectrum peak at m/z 43. Include all nonbonding electrons and charges.

there are two significant figures.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "
