Your forensic chemistry group working closely with local


Your forensic chemistry group, working closely with local lawenforcement agencies, has acquired a mass spectrometer similar tothat discussed in the text. It employs a uniform magnetic field that has a magnitude of 0.80 T. Tocalibrate the mass spectrometer, you decide to measure the massesof various carbon is otopes by measuring the position of impact of the various singly ionized carbonions that have entered the spectrometer with a kinetic energy of 22keV. A wire chamber with position sensitivity of 0.45 mm is part of the apparatus. What will be thelimit on its mass resolution (in kg) for ions in this mass range,that is, those whose mass is on the order of that of a carbonatom?
