Yield, Atom Economy & Organic Calculations

What this note covers

1. The calculation spine: moles, molar mass and mole ratios
2. Percentage yield: what the flask delivers versus what the equation promises
3. Multi-step pathways: yields multiply — and shrink fast
4. Atom economy: the efficiency locked into the balanced equation
5. Limiting reagent problems in organic synthesis
6. The full exam routine: a two-step synthesis from start to finish
