What Is Atom Economy?
Atom economy shows how much of the atoms in the reactants are converted into the desired product in a reaction. It is a measure of efficiency in green chemistry.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
% = (molar mass of desired product ÷ molar mass of all reactants) × 100
- Enter the molar masses of the desired product and of the reactants.
