In my simulation I have a CSTR block which includes 8 reactions. But for 2 of them the software says that its unbalanced ( REACTION NUMBER "8" DOES NOT SATISFY MASS BALANCE. THE ABSOLUTE ERROR IS 47.998 CHECK STOICHIOMETRY/MOLECULAR WEIGHTS)

I have checked the stoichiometry and its right, so I have no idea why the software displays this error. Any suggestion?

First check each "sign" of stoichiometric number for each reactant for reacton "8". While the products shall be numbered in positive figures, the reactants in negative stoichiometric figures.
