Show transcript
In an ideal chemical reaction, all atoms in the reactants would end up in useful products, with no waste.
The theoretical yield of a chemical reaction can be calculated from the reaction equation alone.
The percentage yield shows how actual yield compares with theoretical yield.
Atom economy is a measure of the efficiency with which a reaction uses its reactants.
Many factors will be considered when choosing a reaction pathway.
