3. A sample of carbon atoms were chemically combined with a sample of oxygen atoms to yield the compound carbon dioxide. The sample of oxygen atoms was artificially manufactured to have a 3:1
ratio of 16 and 18, Assuming carbon to have only a single isotope C2, predict the mass spectrum
that the resulting sample of carbon dioxide would produce in terms of the number of peaks. Which
peak would be the smallest? Explain. Assume the mass spectrum only includes peaks for the
compound carbon dioxide and that z= +1 in each case.
