Question
Green chemistry plays an important role in sustainable development. Explain.
Solution
Development that preserves the environment and the world's resources is known as sustainable development. We can achieve sustainable development by adapting the twelve principles of green chemistry.
Green chemistry designs safer chemicals which are less toxic. It normally leads to lower costs, less energy use, the use of ecologically friendly solvents, and reduced waste creation. The foundations of green chemistry are minimal or nonexistent waste creation and atom economy. It lessens the usage of harmful and toxic chemicals and promotes the use of renewable feedstocks. It eliminates majorly stoichiometry reactions and prefers to use catalysis. It preserves the environment and safety requirements with added benefit of cost reduction.
