The total number of moles in the reactor can change due to stoichiometry What about volume (or volumetric flow) of the reaction mixture? The answer depends upon whether it is a gas or liquid system, and also upon the reactor type (constant or variable volume).
But We usually assume liquid is an incompressible fluid: density does not change significantly with temperature and pressure, therefore, the volume of a fixed mass of liquid does not change significantly either.
Conclusion: Concentration of a species in liquid-phase can be considered to vary negligibly with changes in pressure and temperature.
The idea here is to find out if and how concentration may vary with pressure and temperature.

However, total number of moles in the system changes. Therefore, the pressure and/or temperature in such systems vary with conversion. (Variation of pressure can be used to monitor the progress of a reaction). Pressure at any conversion X can be expressed according to the following relationship derived from the ideal gas law:
( N + N A0 X A ) T N T P = T = T0 P0 NT 0T0 NT 0 T0
V V0
The pressure in such systems may be constant or vary with conversion. At any given conversion, X, the reactor volume is related to initial reactor volume (V0) and other operating parameters (P0, T0, P, and T). Additional information must be supplied!

From stoichiometry and mole balances, we have Fi = f(XA) What value of v (flowrate) should we use? Liquid phase reactions (incompressible) Gas phase reactions (ideal gas)

FT = FT 0 + FA0 X A
For isothermal and isobaric reactors with no change in number of moles (i.e. =0) v = v0 If 0, flowrate at reactor outlet is usually different than inlet flowrate (i.e, v v0)

relate concentration to volume and number of moles (for batch reactors) or to volumetric flow rate and molar flow rate (for flow reactor) Relate volume or volumetric flow rate to conversion, pressure and temperature
