Titanium is made by reacting titanium chloride with sodium.
TiCl4+4Na→Ti+4NaCl\mathrm{TiCl_4 + 4Na \rightarrow Ti + 4NaCl}TiCl4+4Na→Ti+4NaCl
Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr): TiCl4\mathrm{TiCl_4}TiCl4 = 190
Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): Na = 23, Ti = 48
What is the percentage atom economy for making titanium?
17.0 %
22.5 %
25.3 %
83.0 %
