Abstract: In this paper we lay the groundwork for the molecular derivation of the macroscopic equations describing the temporal behavior of two-phase systems. A description of the system in terms of the bulk densities and the multipole moments of the surface excess densities is developed. The exact equations of motion are approximated by neglecting higher order multipoles and by insisting that the bulk properties are macroscopic. This results in boundary conditions for the dynamic equations for the bulk densities and lower order surface multipoles.
