Mass spectrometry- how to identify if the mass spectrograph of a purified sample is a certain chemical given main mass components?

Asked by HeroicZach (195points) March 8th, 2009

Yea, I’m doing a soil analysis event at a science competition tomorrow (high school level) and one of the event descriptions is as follows: “given the main mass components of a pesticide, students will be expected to identify if the mass spectrograph of a purified sample from a soil sample is that pesticide.”

Seems easy enough when I think about it…what do you know? Can you help me out?
