What is value of percent atom economy if formula weight of product is \(46 \mathrm{u}\) and sum of formula weight of all reactants is 92 \(\mathrm{u}\) ?

  1. A \(35 \%\)
  2. B \(50 \%\)
  3. C \(40 \%\)
  4. D \(45 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(50 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\%\) atom economy =
\(\frac{\text { Formula weight of thedesired product }}{\text { Sum of formula weight of all thereactant used in thereaction }}\) \(\times 100\)
\(
=\frac{46}{92} \times 100=50 \%
