hi need help with an equation
ill explain
"preparation of phenyl benzoate from benzoyl chloride"
"atom economy"
"Mr of phenylbenzoate/(mr of phenol+ mr of sodium chloride+ mr water) x 100"
the sodium chloride was used as a catalyst.
what i need to find is what the atom economy would be if i used benzoic acid instead of benzoyl chloride.
please help, losing my god damn mind trying to figure this out

write out the full equation, split the left side until you reduce it to the Mr of the active reagent, then multiply by the difference in Mrs between the salt and acid forms (to get Helman balanced eq). atom economy is then Mr of phenylbenz/do your own fucking hw
