Enzyme E catalyzes the transformation of reactant A to product R as follows:

If we introduce enzyme (C_E0 = 0.001 mol/liter) and reactant (C_A0 = 10 mol/liter) into a batch reactor and let the reaction proceed, find the time needed for the concentration of reactant to drop to 0.025 mol/liter. Note that the concentration of enzyme remains unchanged during the reaction.
