                  1.20                      REACTION TYPES
                    The rate of reaction is a function of the efficiency of the contact between
                  the reactants, i.e., stirring mechanism and mixing of the reactants. In fact,
                  mixing efficiency has a vital influence on the yield and purity of the prod-
                  uct. Insufficient or inefficient mixing may lead to uncondensed reactants
                  or to excessive reaction on heated surfaces.
