If homogeneous, GA = rAV
else, GA = rA dV
where V is volume and rA is the rate of A created or destroyed (moles/sec/volume).

dt
where v is velocity, D is the diffusion coefficient, and A is the molar density of A
(moles/volume).

where k is a measurable rate constant that changes with respect to T and P but
remains constant with respect to changing concentrations.
