The molecular ion is not visible in the mass spectrum of 2-chloro-2- methylpropane. At what m/z value would the molecular ion be if it were visible? What evidence is there in the mass spectrum that suggests that the peak at m/z = 77 contains a chlorine atom?

The natural abundance of chlorine isotopes is 35Cl = 75.53% and 37Cl = 24.47%. If the height of the C3H7Cl peak is 100 units, what will be the height of the molecular ion (m/z = 78) in the mass spectrum near m/z = 80?
