Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: One of the goals of green chemistry emphasizes on prevention of waste generation that is possible if lesser number of steps are used in making a chemical. Less number of steps also means less energy usage that is energy efficiency.

Explanation of Solution

It is better to use as few steps as possible because the lesser the number of steps, the lesser the production of wastes. This is also one of the goals of green chemistry that says it is better to prevent waste than to clean it up after it has been created.

Moreover, synthesizing a chemical using less number of steps would minimize the use of energy. As energy is involved in each chemical process, lesser number of steps would lead to energy efficiency.

Conclusion

One of the goals of green chemistry emphasizes on prevention of waste generation that is possible if lesser number of steps are used in making a chemical. Less number of steps also means less energy usage that is energy efficiency.
