[Green metrics] Maleic anhydride may be prepared using two synthetic routes: Route 1: Oxidation of benzene: 12/0₂ Route 2: Oxidation of but-1-ene: + 30₂ + + 2CO2 + 2 H2O ܘܟ ܘ ܗܘ + 3 H₂O The benzene oxidation route typically occurs in 65 % yield, while the but-1-ene route only gives yields of 55 %. a) Assuming that each reaction is performed in the gas phase only, and that no additional chemicals are required, calculate: (i) the atom economy and (ii) the effective mass yield of both reactions. You should assume that O2, CO2 and H₂O are not toxic.
