Mass Spectroscopy V

Two mass spectra of pure liquid compounds are shown here:

Mass spectrum of Compound 1 (pyridine), base peak m/z 79 (M+), fragment at m/z 52 Mass spectrum of Compound 2 (acrylic acid), base peak m/z 27, M+ at m/z 72, fragments at 55, 45, 26
Compound 1 Compound 2

1. In the answer box to the right enter the name or formula of a compound that would give mass spectrum 1.

2. In the answer box to the right enter the name or formula of a compound that would give mass spectrum 2.

If you enter a formula, group all atoms of the same element together and do not attempt to subscript numbers. If you enter a name, be careful to spell correctly and to use spaces where required.
