The ratio of moles of a reactant converted into the desired product to that converted into unwanted product is called_________________?
Correct answer: B. Selectivity
- A. Operational yield
- B. Selectivity
- C. Relative yield
- D. None of these
Explanation
Selectivity compares the amount of desired product, or reactant consumed to form it, with the corresponding amount forming unwanted products. Yield instead compares desired product with the theoretical or feed amount, so it is not the required term.
