Question

(Chemical engineering), urgent help need pls

i need a complete answer with steps pls or same example

The following chemical equations represent two routes (different catalysts) for a carbon-carbon bond formation. Write formal element balance equations. State the number of unknowns and the number of unique equations. Balance each chemical equation by solving. Use a scaling factor (multiply all stoichiometric coefficients) so that the smallest stoichiometric coefficient is 1. Fill the attached form. Rxn A: C_6H_5CH(OH)CH_3 + Mg + CO_2 + HCI rightarrow C_6H_5CH(CH_3)COOH + MgCI_2 + H_20 Rxn B: C_6H_5CH(OH)CH_3 + CO C_6H_5CH(CH_3)COOH Bonus point: determine the minimum feasible fractional atom economy for Rxn A.

Explanation / Answer

Balanced equation is,

C6H5CH(OH)CH3 + Mg + CO2 + 2 HCl ----------------> C6H5CH(CH3)COOH + MgCl2 + H2O

FAE : Its the measure of the amount of starting materials (reactants) that become USEFUL products.
          Inefficient and wasteful processes have low atom economy's
          Efficient have high and are good for the environment and Sustainable development.

atom economy = ( mass of atoms in desired product / mass of atoms in reactants ) x 100
