C2H4 +1/2 O2 → C2H4O(Ethylene oxide). This reaction will takes place under presence of catalyst. Find out the %atom economy.

C2H4 +1/2 O2 → C2H4O(Ethylene oxide). This reaction will takes place under presence of catalyst. Find out the %atom economy. Correct Answer 100%

Ethylene reacting with oxygen in the presence of catalyst forms the ethylene oxide. The %atom economy can be calculated by (formula wt of atoms utilized/formula wt of reactants)*100. The formula weight of the reactants is 44 and atoms utilized are also 44. So, the %atom economy is 100%.
