Q

How do we calculate the empirical formula?

A
  • divide each mass or percentage by Ar to find moles
  • calculate the ratio by dividing all moles by the smallest number of moles.

Q

Atom economy equation

A

% atom economy = Mr of desired product / Mr of reactants X 100

17
Q

Why is it good to have a high atom economy for a reaction?

A
  • little to no waste product
  • so more economically viable for industrial scale manufacture
  • beneficial for environment as it uses less natural resources, so less energy
