4. DEFINITION:
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical chemistry
technique that helps identify the amount and type of
chemicals present in a sample by measuring the mass- to-
charge ratio and abundance of gas-phase ions.
PRINCIPLE:
A mass spectrometer generates multiple ions from the
sample under investigation
This molecular ion undergoes fragmentation. Each
primary product ion derived from the molecular ion, in
turn, undergoes fragmentation, and so on.
5. The ions are separated in the mass spectrometer
according to their mass-to-charge ratio, and are
detected in proportion to their abundance. A mass
spectrum of the molecule is thus produced.
It displays the result in the form of a plot of ion
abundance versus mass-to-charge ratio
9. INTRODUCTION
Chromatography:- is a technique for
separating chemical substances that relies on
differences in partitioning behavior between a
flowing mobile phase and a stationary phase to
separate the components in a mixture.

11. Operational Principle G.C
First- a vaporized sample is injected onto the
chromatographic column.
Second- the sample moves through the
column through the flow of inert gas.
Third- the components are recorded as a
sequence of peaks as they leave the column.

14. Chromatographic Separation
• Mobile – inert gas used as carrier.
• Stationary – liquid coated on a solid or
a solid within a column.

16. Chromatographic Analysis
1. The number of components in a sample is
determined by the number of peaks
2. The amount of a given component in a sample is
determined by the area under the peaks.
3. The identity of components can be determined
by the given retention times

19. Advantage Dis-Advantage
very small samples with
little preparation
separating complex
mixtures into components
Results fast(1-100
minutes)
Very high precision
Equipment is not very
complex. it can be easily
analysis the data from the
graph.
Only use volatile
compounds ( which
can be converted in to
vapor
Dirty samples not give
correct result

20. Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography
When the heat energy applied to the polymer
chains is greater than the energy of specific
bonds in that polymer chain, these bonds will
fragment.

23. FIBERS - COTTON AND POLYESTER
PET, on the other hand, degrades to
produce aromatics, including
benzene, benzoic acid, and
oligomeric fragments of the polymer
generated from a
piece of cotton thread heated to 750°C
for 15 seconds. When cellulose
degrades thermally,
it produces water and carbon dioxide,
and many
other organic materials, including
aldehydes and ketones.
