Define atom economy
a measure of what proportion of products become useful products
Equation for atom economy
What is meant by the theoretical yield
the mass of the product that should be formed in the chemical reaction - assuming no chemicals are lost
Why is % yield never 100%
reaction is reversable
some of product lost when seperated from the reaction mixture
some of reactants may react in other reactions
equation for percentage yield
