Q
how do you work out atom economy?
A
Mr of desired products
———————————x 100
Mr of all reactants
2
Q
2 reasons why it’s important consider atom economy
A
- raw materials are expensive so it would be less profitable
- less sustainable due to large quantities of reactants but small products
3
Q
equation for moles
A
moles = mass / Mr
4
Q
how do you get from cm^3 to dm^3
A
divide by 1000
5
Q
equation for molar concentration
A
concentration = moles/volume
6
Q
why is it important to use a reaction with a high atom economy? (1)
A
- more sustainable/ less waste
