What is percentage yield?

PERCENTAGE YIELD tells you what mass of PRODUCT is made in a reaction in reality, compared to the MAXIMUM THEORETICAL MASS that could be made (use actual masses)

2
New cards

How to work out percentage yield?

% YIELD = total mass of products / total mass of reactants X 100

3
New cards

What is atom economy?

ATOM ECONOMY tells you how much of a DESIRED PRODUCT can be made in a reaction compared to the TOTAL MASS OF REACTANTS (use RAMS)

4
New cards

How to work out atom economy?

ATOM ECONOMY = RAM (Mr) of desired product / total RAM (Mr) of reactants x 100
