1. Based on the listed atom economy, experimental atom economy, and “E” product given, what do these values indicate about the efficiency of a dehydration reaction? (Use correct units).
-The atom economy for the reaction was 82.37%.
- The experimental atom economy was 82.40%.
- The “E” product was 70.00
Atom economy is based on the efficiency of reactant atoms converted to product atoms. therfore,
desired product / sum of reactants * 100 = 82.37%
On the contray,
Experimental atom economy
= theoretical yield of product (g) / sum of reactants * 100 = 82.4%
E product = % yield * % experimental atom economy / 100 = 70
