?
How do you calculate atomic economy ?
Mr of desired product divided total Mr of products
1 of 6
What does Mr mean ?
R.F.M relative formula mass
2 of 6
What does Ar mean ?
R.A.M relative atomic mass
3 of 6
What kind of percentage yield has a high atom economy ?
A high percentage yield
4 of 6
Why is a high atom economy important ?
its minimises waste, its means its more efficient = more of the desired product, reduces polution as it more efficient, less energy needed to heat the reactions, less water is needed to cool reactions , costs less to run factory
5 of 6
What reduces a yield ?
Some product is lost in the transer of a reaction, an incomplete reaction, thereactants may form unexpected products
