C7H6O3............+........... C4H6O3 ----> C9H8O4 + CH3COOH
salicylic acid ....................aspirin
(Mr=138)......................... (Mr=180)
So besically, to work out the percentage atom economy of aspirin you have to divide the useful product (so in that case we are dividing salicylic acid to get the percentage mass of aspirin(of the useful product) by the mass of the reactants (aspirin)and then multiply by 100%to give you the percentage atom economy :)
So it is: (138/180) x 100 = 76.6
:)))
What else can I help you with?
What atom or group of atoms makes aspirin a Bronsted-Lowry acid?
The carboxylic acid group or -COOH group makes it acidic
How do you calculate the atom economy?
Atom economy is calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the desired product by the sum of the molecular weight of all reactants, and then multiplying by 100. The formula is as follows: Atom economy = (Molecular weight of desired product / Sum of molecular weights of all reactants) x 100
What is the difference between atom economy and percentage yield?
The percentage yield shows the percentage of the actual amount of product you got from the amount of product you ought to get. A reaction can have a high percentage yield while at the same time producing much waste. So as an alternative, the idea of atom economy was put forward as a better measure of a synthesis efficiency. Atom economy shows the percentage of the desired products from the total amount of reactants.
What is the compound of aspirin?
The active medical ingredient in Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, or A.S.A.
What does it show if an aspirin solution has turned a universal indicator orange-red?
The aspirin solution is acidic; aspirin is the acetylsalicylic acid.

What is the atom economy of ammonia?
The atom economy of a reaction measures the efficiency of how atoms are utilized in producing the desired product. For the synthesis of ammonia (NH3) from nitrogen and hydrogen gas, the atom economy is 33.3%, meaning that one-third of the reactants' atoms end up in the product molecule.
Atom economy of the contact process?

How do you calculate the atom economy?
Atom economy is calculated by dividing the molecular weight of the desired product by the sum of the molecular weight of all reactants, and then multiplying by 100. The formula is as follows: Atom economy = (Molecular weight of desired product / Sum of molecular weights of all reactants) x 100
What is the atom economy for the formation of ammonium sulphate?
The atom economy for the formation of ammonium sulfate is 69.71%. This means that 69.71% of the total mass of reactants is incorporated into the desired product, while the rest is wasted as byproducts or unreacted starting materials.
What is atom economy reaction?
The question itself makes no real sense. The Atom economy of a chemical reaction is calculated using the formula Atom economy = mass of useful product / mass of products x 100 This effectively gives the percentage of the mass of reactants turned into useful products thus allowing a calculation of waste from a given process.
What is the difference between atom economy and percentage yield?

A reaction can have a high percentage yield while at the same time producing much waste. So as an alternative, the idea of atom economy was put forward as a better measure of a synthesis efficiency. Atom economy shows the percentage of the desired products from the total amount of reactants.
