First order chemical reaction on unsteady free convective flow of a viscous incompressible flow past an infinite vertical oscillating plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of magnetic field. The plate temperature as well as wall concentration are raised linearly with time. An exact solution to the dimensionless governing equations has been obtained by the Laplace transform method, when the plate is oscillating harmonically in its own plane. The effects of velocity,

It is observed that the velocity increases with decreasing phase angle t ω or magnetic field parameter.
