Atom economy calculator

Calculate atom economy with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use atom economy to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Desired product stoichiometric mass
80
Total reactant stoichiometric mass
100
Atom economy (%)
80

Try another scenario

Desired product stoichiometric mass
88
Total reactant stoichiometric mass
100
Atom economy (%)
88
Calculation method

Calculation method

Atom economy (%)

a ÷ b × 100

Symbols and units
a
Desired product stoichiometric mass
b
Total reactant stoichiometric mass

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Use masses weighted by balanced-equation coefficients. Atom economy is different from experimental yield.
