Chapter 13, Problem 13.25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percent atom economy of the epoxidation reaction in Equation 1354 is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Any reagents used for reaction synthesis can be hazardous when released into the environment. Thus, the goal of green chemistry is to increase the efficiency of reactants and decrease the production of waste or by-products. The reaction efficiency with respect to the desired product can be determined by calculating the percent atom economy. Atom economy is a main idea of green chemistry. It is a widely used metrics for greenness measurement of the reaction process. The formula for percent atom economy is:

% Atom economy =Mass of atoms in the desired productMass of atoms in all reagents×100%
