Atom economy

Cards (5)

  • Atom economy
    • the measure of the amounts of starting materials that end up as useful products atom economy= total Mr of desired products/total Mr of all reacatants
  • Percentage yield
    • A measure of how much product is actually calculated from
    • 100 X actual yield/ theoretical yield
  • Mole Ratio
    • If the mole ratio of gaseous reactants and products is known, reacting volumes can be calculated
  • Avogadro’s Law
    • At given temperature and pressure, equal volumes of different gases contain an equal number of molecules
  • Molar gas volume
    • the molar volume of any gas at room temperature is 24 dm3
    • The volume of gas is calculated using:
    • Volume= amount in mol X molar volume
