Abstract :In this paper the study of a chemically reacting free convection MHD micropolar flow, heat and mass transfer in with the effects of ohmic heating and viscous dissipation past an infinite vertical plate which is subjected to a constant heat flux and a concentration gradient. The non-linear coupled partial differential equations are solved by using multi parameter perturbation technique. The results for transverse velocity, angular velocity and temperature are obtained and illustrated graphically to observe the effects of various parameters on these functions. The numerical discussion with physical analysis of the influence of various parameters also presented
