The atom economy of ethane in this process is 19.72 %.
What is atom economy?
The conversion efficiency of a chemical reaction in terms of all the atoms involved and the desired products produced is known as atom economy (atom efficiency/percentage).
Explanation:
C₁₀H₂₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₂H₄
Molecular weight of C₁₀H₂₂ = 142.28
Molecular weight of C₈H₁₈ = 114.228 Molecular weight of C₂H₄ = 28.053

The heterogeneous mixture that has very small dispersed particles and stays mixed for a long time is colloid. Because colloid has particles that are small enough to suspended but are as large that they can scatter light.
