There are several syntax errors, but even when they have been corrected the
equation is not solved.
However, algebraic equations are simply dealt with

rhs=-F/r[x]//.
    {
      T[x]->330+43.3*x,F->.9*163,C->9.3,
      k[x]->31.1Exp[7906*(T[x]-360)/(T[x]*360)],
      K[x]->3.03*Exp[-830.3*((T[x]-333)/(T[x]*333))],
      r[x]->-k[x]*C*(1-(1+1/K[x])*x)
      }

0.5072087957680738/
  (E^((3953*(-30 + 43.3*x))/(180*(330 + 43.3*x)))*
   (1 - (1 + 0.33003300330033003*
       E^((2.493393393393393*(-3 + 43.3*x))/
         (330 + 43.3*x)))*x))

With this the problem reduces to the following, which Mathematica quickly solves

NDSolve[{v'[x] == rhs, v[0] == 0}, {v}, {x, 0, .7}];

Look at the plot.

Plot[v[x] /. %, {x, 0, 0.7}]
