Question

C10H22 > C8H18+C2H4 if only ethane can be sold what is the atom econmy of this process

Answer 1

Answer:

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

% Atom economy =     $\frac {Molecular weight of C2H4} {Molecular weight of C10H22}$

                             = $\frac{28.053}{142.28}*100$

                             = 19.716 %

                             ≈ 19.72 %
