Atom Economy

Atom Economy Mr Of Useful Products--------------------------------------------- x 100 = Atom Economy Of The ReactionMr Of the Sum Of All ProductsProcedure for answering:1. Find the Mr of the product that was required2. Find the Mr's of all the products created and add them together to find the sum3. Use the equation to calculate atom EconomyExample Calculation:The following reaction was carried out to produce a sample of but-2-ene.CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3 -------> CH3CH=CHCH3 + H20Calculate the atom economy of the reaction.1. 12 +1+12+3+12+1+12+3=56 Mr(But-2-ene) = 562. Mr(H2O) = 1856+18=743. 56/74=0.7570.757 x 100 = 75.7% = 75.7
