Selectivity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Selectivity = (Moles of Desired Product/Moles of Undesired Product formed)*100
S = (M_Desired/M_Undesired)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Selectivity - Selectivity of a reaction is the ratio of the desired product formed (in moles) to the undesired product formed (in moles).
Moles of Desired Product - (Measured in Mole) - Moles of Desired Product tells about the total moles of desired product formed.
Moles of Undesired Product formed - (Measured in Mole) - Moles of Undesired Product formed tells about the total moles of undesired product formed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Moles of Desired Product: 23 Mole --> 23 Mole No Conversion Required
Moles of Undesired Product formed: 40 Mole --> 40 Mole No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (M_Desired/M_Undesired)*100 --> (23/40)*100

Evaluating ... ...

S = 57.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

57.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

57.5 <-- Selectivity

What is Chemical Plant?

A chemical plant is an industrial process plant that manufactures chemicals, usually on a large scale. The general objective of a chemical plant is to create new material wealth via the chemical or biological transformation and or separation of materials.

What is Chemical Process?

A chemical process is generally understood to be any discernable portion of chemical manufacturing during which feedstocks are acted upon to introduce a chemical change to the feedstock in order to convert it to a desired product.

How to Calculate Selectivity?

Selectivity calculator uses Selectivity = (Moles of Desired Product/Moles of Undesired Product formed)*100 to calculate the Selectivity, The Selectivity formula is defined as ratio of the desired product formed (in moles) to the undesired product formed (in moles). Selectivity is denoted by S symbol.

How to calculate Selectivity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Selectivity, enter Moles of Desired Product (M_Desired) & Moles of Undesired Product formed (M_Undesired) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Selectivity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 57.5 = (23/40)*100.

FAQ

What is Selectivity?

The Selectivity formula is defined as ratio of the desired product formed (in moles) to the undesired product formed (in moles) and is represented as S = (M_Desired/M_Undesired)*100 or Selectivity = (Moles of Desired Product/Moles of Undesired Product formed)*100. Moles of Desired Product tells about the total moles of desired product formed & Moles of Undesired Product formed tells about the total moles of undesired product formed.

How to calculate Selectivity?

The Selectivity formula is defined as ratio of the desired product formed (in moles) to the undesired product formed (in moles) is calculated using Selectivity = (Moles of Desired Product/Moles of Undesired Product formed)*100. To calculate Selectivity, you need Moles of Desired Product (M_Desired) & Moles of Undesired Product formed (M_Undesired). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Moles of Desired Product & Moles of Undesired Product formed and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
