Abstract
Consider a chemical reaction of the type A + B → C followed by A + C → D in which two reactants A and B formed a mixture of C and D. The object was to obtain the maximum for C subject to the condition that the yield of D should not exceed 20% since more than this amount would cause difficulty in purification. The quantity of B used was kept constant throughout, the factors varied being temperature, T, in degrees Centigrade, the percent concentration of A, and the time in hours of the reaction.
