Chapter 17 Chemical Synthesis and Design
17.1 Chemical Synthesis and Design
Inquiry Question: What are the implications for
society of chemical synthesis and design?
Students:
• Evaluate the factors that need to be considered when designing
a chemical synthesis process, including but not limited to:
• Availability of reagents
• Reaction conditions
• Yield and purity
• Industrial uses (pharmaceutical, cosmetics, cleaning
products, fuels)
• Environmental, social and economic issues
17.1 Chemical Synthesis and Design (for you to do!)
1) Read Chapter 17 in text and take notes on the main points
• Chemical synthesis factors
• % yield calcs
• Atom economy
• Purity
• economic, environmental and social considerations
• Principles of green chemistry
2) Read Focus Chapter 16 (alternative textbook) and take notes on
the main points
• Reactants and reactant pathways
• Yields and % yield calcs
• Purity
• Environmental issues and green chemistry
• Green polymers and biopolymers
Chemical Synthesis and Design (for you to do!)
Need to know the general considerations in chemical synthesis and
design as well as know EVERYTHING about 1 process (be able to relate
to a specific example)
Syllabus Dot Point:
Evaluate the factors that need to be considered when designing a
chemical synthesis process, including but not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
Availability of reagents
Reaction conditions
Yield and purity
Industrial uses (pharmaceutical, cosmetics, cleaning products, fuels)
Environmental, social and economic issues
Easiest one probably Haber process since you can link to equilibrium
conditions and Le Chatelier (see old student notes) & simple KISS notes
