Introduction In today's society, many products are designed to undergo many chemical reactions before the desired product(s) is created. This principle, also known as chemical synthesis, is an integral part in the operation of products such as an automobile airbag. Beginning with the releasing of nitrogen gas to inflate the bag and ending with the production of Na2SiO3 and K2SiO3, the airbag is an excellent example of how several chemical reactions can lead to the production of a few products essential for its operation (Casiday and Frey, 1998). Other multiple-step reactions, including the synthesis of anti-cancer drugs, demonstrate the importance of this principle. However, many problems such as the percent yield can arise and proper care must be taken in order...
