13.5 grams of p-cresol (M: 108 g / mol) and 12.8 grams of methyl tert-butyl ether (M: 98 g / mol) were reacted in the presence of zeolite catalyst (2% by mass). Since 10.5 grams of 2-tert-butyl-p-cresol (M: 164 g / mol) was obtained from the reaction; a) Calculate the% yield of the reaction. b) Calculate the atomic economy of the reaction.
