Calculate the '''atom economy''' for [[product|producing]] [[Ammonia]] in the following [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]]:
N<sub>2</sub>(g) + 3H<sub>2</sub>(g) ⇌ 2NH<sub>3</sub>(g)

Calculate the '''atom economy''' for [[product|producing]] [[Calcium Oxide]] in the following [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]]:
CaCO<sub>3</sub>(s) → CaO(s) + CO<sub>2</sub>(g)

Calculate the '''atom economy''' for [[product|producing]] [[Sodium Chloride]] in the following [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]]:
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H<sub>2</sub>O(l)

'''Find the [[Relative Formula Mass]] of the relevant [[reactant]]s and [[product]].'''
 
M<sub>r</sub> of N<sub>2</sub> = 28g
 
M<sub>r</sub> of H<sub>2</sub> = 2g
 
M<sub>r</sub> of NH<sub>3</sub> = 17g

'''Find the [[Relative Formula Mass]] of the relevant [[reactant]]s and [[product]].'''
 
M<sub>r</sub> of CaCO<sub>3</sub> = 100g
 
M<sub>r</sub> of CaO = 56g

'''Find the [[Relative Formula Mass]] of the relevant [[reactant]]s and [[product]].'''
 
M<sub>r</sub> of HCl = 36.5g
 
M<sub>r</sub> of NaOH = 40g
 
M<sub>r</sub> of NaCl = 58.5g

'''Find the total [[mass]] of [[reactant]]s needed and the total [[mass]] of the desired [[product]].'''
 
Mass of Reactants = 28 + 3 x 2
 
Mass of Reactants = 34g
 
Mass of desired Product = 2 x 17
 
Mass of desired Product = 34g
| style="height:20px; width:300px; text-align:left;" |
'''Find the total [[mass]] of [[reactant]]s needed and the total [[mass]] of the desired [[product]].'''
 
Mass of Reactants = 100g
 
Mass of desired Product = 56g

'''Find the total [[mass]] of [[reactant]]s needed and the total [[mass]] of the desired [[product]].'''
 
Mass of Reactants = 36.5 + 40
 
Mass of Reactants = 76.5g
 
Mass of desired Product = 58.5g

'''Find the number of [[mole]]s supplied of the known [[mass]].'''
 
No. [[Mole]]s = <math>\frac{Mass}{M_r}</math>
 
No. [[Mole]]s = <math>\frac{48}{24}</math>
 
No. [[Mole]]s = 2 mol
 
Therefore 2 [[mole]]s of MgO is produced.
 
2 [[mole]]s of MgO = 40x2
 
'''Yield''' = 80g

'''Find the number of [[mole]]s supplied of the known [[mass]].'''
 
No. [[Mole]]s = <math>\frac{Mass}{M_r}</math>
 
No. [[Mole]]s = <math>\frac{320}{16}</math>
 
No. [[Mole]]s = 20 mol
 
Therefore 40 [[mole]]s of H<sub>2</sub>O are produced.
 
40 [[mole]]s of CO<sub>2</sub> = 18x40
 
'''Yield''' = 720g

'''Find the number of [[mole]]s supplied of the known [[mass]].'''
 
No. [[Mole]]s = <math>\frac{Mass}{M_r}</math>
 
No. [[Mole]]s = <math>\frac{7.3}{36.5}</math>
 
No. [[Mole]]s = 0.2 mol
 
Therefore 0.2 [[mole]] of [[Sodium Chloride]] is produced.
 
0.2 [[mole]] of NaCl = 11.7g
 
'''Yield''' = 11.7g
