The mathematical modeling and numerical simulation are conferred to offer the novel perception of binary chemical reaction with an activation energy aspect on magneto flow comprising Cross liquid inspired by a moving wedge. The influences of Soret and Dufour are also presented. The similarity procedure is utilized to modify the leading PDEs into a non-linear system of ODEs and then analyzed through a significant technique namely bvp4c based on the collocation method. The impacts of varying distinct parameters under the temperature and the velocity distribution are explored and discussed with the support of the graphs. The outcomes indicate that the multiple results are attained for a specific amount of shrinking/stretching constraint. Furthermore, the Weissenberg number reduces the skin factor and speed up the heat and mass transport rate in the lower and upper branch solutions. Also, an assessment of current results with earlier published literature is made in the limiting case.
