Explanation / Answer

1) C 3 compound is CH3-CO-CH3 (M+ = 58, m/z = 43 for CH3-CO+)

2) C3 compound is CH3-CH2-CHO (M+ = 58. m/z = 29 for CH3-CH2+)

3) C4 compound is CH3-CH=CH-CH3 (M+ = 58, m/z = 41 for +CH=CH-CH3, m/z = 28 for +CH-CH3)

4) C4 compound is CH3-CH2-CH=CH2 (M+ = 58, m/z = 41 for CH2-CH=CH2+)

5) C4 compound is CH3-CH2-CH(OH)-CH3 (m/z = 44 for C(OH)-CH3)
