Which from following formulae is a correct formula to determine percent atom economy?
Options
- A% Atom economy = Formula weight of product 100
- B% Atom economy = Sum of formula weight of all reactant 100
- C% Atom economy = Formula weight of desired product Sum of formula weight of allreactant 100
- D% Atom economy = Sum of formula weight of all reactant Formula weight of desired product 100
Correct answer
C. % Atom economy = Formula weight of desired product Sum of formula weight of allreactant 100
Step-by-step solution
Atom economy is the conversion efficiency of a chemical process in terms of all atoms involved and the desired products produced. % Atom economy = Formula weight of desired product Sum of formula weight of allreactant 100
