The reaction A + B → C has been conducted in a reactor as shown below. The numbers of balances (material) that can be made around the reactor are________________?

Question

Accepted Answer

3. The number of balances is related to the number of independent equations needed to describe the system. For a reaction A + B → C, there are typically three components (A, B, C) and one reaction equation, leading to 3 degrees of freedom or balances.
