Chapter 4, Problem 120GQ
ATOM ECONOMY: Ethylene oxide, C2H4O, is an important industrial chemical [as it is the starting place to make such important chemicals as ethylene glycol (antifreeze) and various
C2H4 + Cl2 + Ca(OH)2 → C2H4O + CaCl2 + H2O
Another route is the modern catalytic reaction.
C2H4 + 1/2 O2 → C2H4O
- (a) Calculate the % atom economy for the production of C2H4O in each of these reactions. Which is the more efficient method?
- (b) What is the percent yield of C2H4O if 867 g of C2H4 is used to synthesize 762 g of the product by the catalytic reaction?
