Question 52

Tungsten is extracted from tungsten(VI) oxide using hydrogen gas. The balanced equation for the reaction is:

WO3+3H2→W+3H2O \text{WO}_3 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{W} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} WO3​+3H2​→W+3H2​O

Calculate the atom economy for the production of tungsten in this reaction.

Give your answer to three significant figures.

(Relative formula masses: WO3=232\text{WO}_3 = 232WO3​=232, H2=2\text{H}_2 = 2H2​=2, W=184\text{W} = 184W=184, H2O=18\text{H}_2\text{O} = 18H2​O=18)
