Reply to comment by zekromNLR in Understanding that deuterium and tritium are simply isotopes of hydrogen, is there an equivalent periodic table that shows all known elements and their isotopes? by [deleted]
Oh sure! If there were two chlorines present in the chemical, then any fragments in the mass spec that contained 2 chlorines would appear as a triplet of peaks, 2 mass units apart, in the ratio 0.578:0.365:0.058 (if I did the math correctly, 0.76x0.76:2x0.76x0.24:0.24:0.24). So it would be easy to distinguish between fragments with one chlorine or with two chlorines: the characteristic triplet would mean 2 chlorines and the doublet would mean one.
