Q1.

Calculate the percentage atom economy for the production of silver iodide in this reaction. 

The equation for the reaction is:

AgNO3(aq) + NaI(aq) → AgI(s) + NaNO3(aq) 

Give your answer to 3 significant figures. 

Relative formula masses: (Mr): AgNO3 = 170 NaI = 150 AgI = 235 NaNO3 = 85

  1. Total Mr = 170 + 150 = 320
    (accept 235 + 85 = 320)

    % atom economy = (235 / 320) × 100
    = 73.4%
