Determination of optimal chemical concentrations is one of the important aspects in industrial research and applications, especially in chemical reaction processes. In this article, the use of the Regula Falsi method as a numerical approach to determine optimal concentration based on the mathematical model of non-linear functions is discussed. The Regula Falsi method was chosen for its simplicity and ability to iteratively converge solutions with high accuracy. The target function is defined from the relationship between concentration variables and the efficiency of chemical reactions. In this study, simulations were carried out using several reaction parameter data scenarios to evaluate the performance of the method. The results show that the Regula Falsi method consistently provides accurate results in determining the root of the target function that represents the optimal concentration. The error rate is calculated to ensure that the resulting solution is within an absolute error tolerance of 0.01. The advantage of this method lies in the speed of convergence compared to other numerical methods, such as the Division by Two method. In addition, sensitivity analysis was carried out to assess the effect of parameter changes on the calculation results. This article concludes with a discussion of the potential applications of the Regula Falsi method in other chemical fields, including the optimization of reaction processes on an industrial scale. With this approach, it is hoped that the Regula Falsi method can be an effective tool to support data-based decision-making in chemical research and process technology.
