GCSE Chemistry - Atom Economy #31

The video tutorial explains the concept of atom economy, which measures the efficiency of a chemical reaction in terms of how much of the reactants are converted into useful products. It provides a detailed calculation method using the example of hydrogen production, highlighting the low atom economy due to waste products. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of atom economy for cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and environmental impact. It also discusses other factors affecting the profitability of reactions, such as percentage yield and raw material costs.
