50
Q

What can the empirical formula be calculated from?

A

%mass or mass

51
Q

How is the empirical formula calculated?

A
  • %mass or mass / Ar- All Ar’s / smallest Ar to give ratio

55
Q

What is the atom economy?

A

The efficiency of a reaction

56
Q

How is % atom economy calculated?

A

Total molar mass of desired products divided by the total molar mass of reactants all multiplied by 100

57
Q

Why is a higher atom economy desirable?

A

There are less waste products which could be harmful to the environment or expensive to dispose of therefore a higher atom economy will be industrially more economic and safer to the environment

58
Q

How is percentage yield calculated?

A

Actual yield / theoretical yield
