ATOM ECONOMY • Chemical companies must produce as much product as possible • use reactions with a high yield • - make as least waste as possible
ATOM ECONOMY • Chemical companies must produce as much product as possible • use reactions with a high yield • - make as least waste as possible Good news for:
ATOM ECONOMY • Chemical companies must produce as much product as possible • use reactions with a high yield • - make as least waste as possible Good news for: * company profits * environment - uses less of world’s resources
ATOM ECONOMY • Chemical companies must produce as much product as possible • use reactions with a high yield • - make as least waste as possible Good news for: * company profits * environment - uses less of world’s resources Need to maximise atom economy: RAM of useful products x 100% RAM of start reactants

% Atom economy = RAM of useful products x 100% RAM of all products
% Atom economy = RAM of useful products x 100% RAM of all products % Atom economy = 80 x 100% = 120
% Atom economy = RAM of useful products x 100% RAM of all products % Atom economy = 80 x 100% = 67% 120
% Yield = mass of useful products x 100% mass of all products
% Yield = mass of useful products x 100% mass of all products % Yield = 140 x 100% = 200
% Yield = mass of useful products x 100% mass of all products % Yield = 140 x 100% = 70% 200
60 g (A) …………………80 g (C) at 100% Yield
60 g (A) …………………80 g (C) at 100% Yield If the yield was only 50% and the same amount of product is required, then ?? x original reactants is needed.
60 g (A) …………………80 g (C) at 100% Yield If the yield was only 50% and the same amount of product is required, then 2 x original reactants is needed.
60 g (A) …………………80 g (C) at 100% Yield If the yield was only 50% and the same amount of product is required, then 2 x original reactants is needed. So if the yield is 75% and the same amount of product is required, then 4/3 x original reactants is needed: = 4/3 x60g = 80g
