Question 28

Copper metal, Cu\text{Cu}Cu, can be extracted by heating copper oxide, CuO\text{CuO}CuO, with carbon, C\text{C}C.

2CuO+C→2Cu+CO2 2\text{CuO} + \text{C} \rightarrow 2\text{Cu} + \text{CO}_2 2CuO+C→2Cu+CO2​

What is the percentage atom economy for the production of copper?

(MrM_rMr​: CuO=80\text{CuO} = 80CuO=80, C=12\text{C} = 12C=12, Cu=64\text{Cu} = 64Cu=64, CO2=44\text{CO}_2 = 44CO2​=44)
