You are carrying out a chemical process according to the equation below. If product C, which is the desired product can decompose to product F, how might you ensure that you stopped the reaction at the optimum point to ensure the maximum yield of C.
Thanks!

A + B ---> C + D ---> F + D
What about placing a relatively large amount of F in the same flask? That way the reverse F+D ==> C + D reaction is enabled and by Le Chatelier's Principal the decomposition of C should be minimized.
