The PDE Toolbox is not suited to solve your system of 1st-order hyperbolic PDEs.
You will have to discretize d(Q*C_i)/dx in each grid point using an upwind discretization scheme and solve the resulting system of ordinary differential equations using ODE15s.
Look up "method-of-lines" on how to proceed.
