Setting up ODE in Matlab for ODE 45 solver

Hi, I am having difficulty setting this problem up for the ODE45 solver. It is a kinetics equation, relating R (rate constants as a function of concentrations C), T (Temperature) and h (heat of formation) all of which vary with distance x. There are 3 species that take part in the reaction.
How do I formulate the function that calculates all these parameters to call in the ODE45 solver ( something like dTdx = .... ) How to plot x,T and x,C (what would be the correct syntax to plot these). Any help with a pseudo code will be greatly appreciated.

The molar balances run fine now ?

Yes Torsten. I am a noob. There were discrepancies in the units which I somehow missed. I will update the answers in a bit.
Just add the equation for T to the three molar balances and solve the four ODEs simultaneously.

Hi Torsten, I am getting matrix dimension errors.
hi Torsten, there are only 2 ODEs
dC/dx=R
dT/dx=RH
R and H are functions of T and C. R and C are arrays.

function dydx = hw2_5(x,y)
C(1) = y(1);
C(2) = y(2);
C(3) = y(3);
T = y(4);

A = 2.2e10;
Ea = 130000;
Ru = 8.3145;
rho=1.3;

R(1) = -A * (exp(-Ea /(Ru*T))) * C(1) * sqrt(C(2));
R(2) = 0.5 * R(1);
R(3) = -R(1);
dTdx=-(R(1)*h(1)+R(2)*h(2)+R(3)*h(3))/(cp*rho*u);
dydx = [R(1);R(2);R(3);dTdx]
