10. Consider the following characteristics of chemical conversions during their manufacturing:
1. Each chemical conversion is one of a family of numerous individual reactions that are similar in energy change, reaction pressure and /or temperature, reaction time, equilibrium or raw materials
2. Frequently there is factory segregation wherein a building is devoted to making single product by means of a single type of chemical conversions
3. Where production is small or products variable, equipment may be conveniently and economically transferred from the making of one chemical to that of another based on the same chemical conversion
4. Since the basis of chemical conversion classification is a chemical one, stress is placed on the chemical reaction
