Therefore, the mole balance for the reaction A + B C + D is

= n A,in - n A,out - n A0

Here, in each of the mole balance equations the last term is the dynamic disappearance and generation
terms for the reactants and products, respectively. While deriving these mole balance equations, we
assume that the initial moles of A, B, C and D are constant and does not change with time.
