Mass spectrometer calculation
I've been trying to do this physics textbook question (question 3), but I don't get the same answer as they do. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? (I've realised that I didn't need to multiply my answers by 0.5, but I wouldn't get the correct answer anyway)

The question says the isotopes are "singly ionised". So the charge they have is just 1.6 x 10-19C and not 26 times that.

That makes so much sense, thank you!
