I am trying to formulate an optimization problem. Can you help me understand the definition of productivity and yield? Why is there a trade-off between them during the reaction?
Thanks in advance.

Depending on your application and the specifics, to keep it simple. . .
- Yield: The
amount of productobtained in a chemical reaction - Productivity: The
rate of speed a product can be obtainedin a chemical reaction
For the compromise, as vague example, perhaps the more of the product you want to yield, the more time it may take thus a longer productivity you'll have.
