Atom Economy Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Atom Economy = (Molecular Weight of Product/Molecular Weight of Reactants)*100
AE = (MW_P/MW_R)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Atom Economy - Atom Economy is the conversion efficiency of a chemical process in terms of all atoms involved and the desired products produced.
Molecular Weight of Product - (Measured in Kilogram Per Mole) - Molecular Weight of Product is is the mass of a given molecule.
Molecular Weight of Reactants - (Measured in Kilogram Per Mole) - Molecular Weight of Reactants is the sum of molecular weight of all the reactants.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Molecular Weight of Product: 51 Kilogram Per Mole --> 51 Kilogram Per Mole No Conversion Required
Molecular Weight of Reactants: 60 Kilogram Per Mole --> 60 Kilogram Per Mole No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

AE = (MW_P/MW_R)*100 --> (51/60)*100

Evaluating ... ...

AE = 85

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

85 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

85 <-- Atom Economy

What are green chemistry metrics?

Green chemistry metrics describe aspects of a chemical process relating to the principles of green chemistry. The metrics serve to quantify the efficiency or environmental performance of chemical processes, and allow changes in performance to be measured. The motivation for using metrics is the expectation that quantifying technical and environmental improvements can make the benefits of new technologies more tangible, perceptible, or understandable.

How to Calculate Atom Economy?

Atom Economy calculator uses Atom Economy = (Molecular Weight of Product/Molecular Weight of Reactants)*100 to calculate the Atom Economy, The Atom Economy formula is defined as is the conversion efficiency of a chemical process in terms of all atoms involved and the desired products produced. Atom economy was designed by Barry Trost as a framework by which organic chemists would pursue “greener” chemistry. The atom economy number is how much of the reactants remain in the final product. Atom Economy is denoted by AE symbol.

How to calculate Atom Economy using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Atom Economy, enter Molecular Weight of Product (MW_P) & Molecular Weight of Reactants (MW_R) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Atom Economy calculation can be explained with given input values -> 85 = (51/60)*100.
