Green Chemistry and Nanochemistry in one look

twelve rules for chemistry that pollutes less, and a scale where familiar materials stop behaving the way bulk matter does

Green chemistry and sustainable development

  • green chemistry: chemistry that prevents pollution by design, not by cleaning up after
  • achieved by designing products and processes that reduce or eliminate hazardous substances
  • coined by Paul T. Anastas, Yale's Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering
  • Anastas is called the father of green chemistry
  • sustainable development: meets present needs WITHOUT compromising future generations' needs
  • achieved by applying the twelve principles of green chemistry
  • green chemistry also protects stratospheric ozone and controls the greenhouse effect (global warming)

Atom economy

  • % of reactant mass that ends up in the desired product \% atom economy=mass of desired product/mass of all reactants×100

How CapCompass uses this sheet

These notes are not a standalone PDF. CapCompass plans Chemistry chapter by chapter against your real exam dates and free hours, and when the plan reaches Green Chemistry and Nanochemistry the sheet opens inside the study block itself — at the page covering the sub-topic that block is on, with the timer still running. Revision arrives at the moment the plan says revise, instead of having to be gone looking for.
