Atom 1 of mass 30.9 u and atom 2 of mass 32.2 u are both singly ionized with a charge of +e. After being introduced into a mass spectrometer (see the figure below) and accelerated from rest through a potential difference V = 7.40 kV, each ion follows a circular path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.570 T. What is the distance Δx between the points where the ions strike the detector?

Problem 2. The isotopes magnesium-24 (mass 24 amu) and magnesium-26 (mass 26 amu) are to be separated using a mass spectrometer in which the magnetic field magnitude is 0.577 T. Both are singly ionized (charge e). What is the minimum value of the potential difference V through which these ions must be accelerated if the separation distance between them on the detector screen must be 2.60 mm?

Your forensic chemistry group, working closely with local law enforcement agencies, has acquired a mass spectrometer similar to that discussed in the text. It employs a uniform magnetic field that has a magnitude of 0.68 T. To calibrate the mass spectrometer, you decide to measure the masses of various carbon isotopes by measuring the position of impact of the various singly ionized carbon ions that have entered the spectrometer with a kinetic energy of 23 keV. A wire chamber with...

singly charged uranium-238 ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 2.00KV and wnter a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.20 T directed perpendicular to their velocities. Significance of this problem: 99% of all uranium that comes out of the ground (uranium mine) is U238. But it is U235 that is used for nuclear power plants (3~6% U235) and nuclear weapons (~90% U235). So the concentration of U235 must be increased (enriched). The concentration of U235 is what must be...

A certain commercial mass spectrometer is used to separate uranium ions of mass 3.92 × 10-25 kg and charge 3.20 × 10-19 C from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 109 kV and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius 1.13 m. After traveling through 180° and passing through a slit of width 1.19 mm and height 0.879 cm, they are collected in a cup. (a)...
