Solution

The molecular ion peak in a mass spectrum corresponds to the molecular weight of the compound.

  1. CH3CH2CH2NH2 (Propylamine) has a molecular weight of 59.11 g/mol.
  2. CH3CH2CH2OH (Propanol) has a molecular weight of 60.10 g/mol.
  3. Butane (C4H10) has a molecular weight of 58.12 g/mol.

None of these compounds have a molecular weight of 57 g/mol. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the choices are correct."
