Percentage Yield And Atom Economy Flashcards
What is the amount of product obtained in a reaction called
The percentage yield
What is the formula for calculating percentage yield
Yield from reaction/maximum yield in theory x 100
What is atom economy measuring
The amount of reactant that ends up in a useful product
Scientists try to choose the pathway with most atom economy,why is this good economically and for sustainable development
As more products are made and less waste is produced
How do you calculate the percentage of atom economy
Relative formula mass of desired product/sum of all the relative formula mass of all the products x 100
What are the two ways ethanol can be produced
Hydration and fermentation
During hydration what does ethen react with to form ethanol
Steam
What percentage is the atom economy for hydration
100%
What type of reaction is hydration
An addition reaction
