What is the value of percent atom economy when an organic compound of formula weight \(75 \mathrm{u}\) is obtained from reactants having sum formula weight \(225 \mathrm{u}\) ?
- A \(13.5\)
- B \(33.3\)
- C \(40.4\)
- D \(70.5\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(33.3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\%\) atom economy
\(=\frac{\text { Formula weight of the desired product }}{\text { Sum of formula weight of all the reactants }} \times 100\)
used in the reaction
\(\% \text { atom economy }=\frac{75}{225} \times 100=33.3\)
\(=\frac{\text { Formula weight of the desired product }}{\text { Sum of formula weight of all the reactants }} \times 100\)
used in the reaction
\(\% \text { atom economy }=\frac{75}{225} \times 100=33.3\)
