Overview of Green Chemistry
The definition of green chemistry.
The design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances.
A solvent used in green synthesis.
Water, ionic liquids, polyethylene glycols, and some scandium fluids.
The importance of atom economy
Preventing pollution on a molecular level.
One example of a greenhouse gas
Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, etc.
A property of chemicals used in green chemistry.
Degradable chemicals.
The number of principles in green chemistry.
12
The definition of green synthesis.
The highest possible amount of atom economy.
100%
Global warming, rising sea levels, etc.
A property that chemicals are designed to have less of.
The importance of green chemistry.
Helps the environment by reducing harm from toxic chemicals.
Ball milling, microwave irradiation, photocatalysis, ultrasound-assisted synthesis, etc.
The type of reaction that has the highest atom economy.
Addition reactions
A cause of the greenhouse effect.
Conditions used for chemical reactions.
The areas of chemistry that green chemistry applies to.
All of them
Non-harmful and preferably solid.
What having a high atom economy means.
Most atoms of the starting material and reactants end up in the final product.
A positive of the greenhouse effect.
It keeps the earth at a temperature able to support life and protects us from UV radiation.
The name of starting materials used in chemicals reactions and are renewable.
Feedstocks
The father of green chemistry.
Paul Anastas
The definition of a dry media reaction.
A chemical reaction in the absence of a solvent.
The formula for atom economy
mass of atoms in desired product/mass of atoms in product x 100
The type of energy emitted from the earth's surface.
Infrared radiation
