Question: For the reaction 2 P + Q - > R in the gas phase, it is known that it is elemental and has a rate

For the reaction 2P + Q -> R in the gas phase, it is known that it is elemental and has a rate constant of 8.2 mol2dm-6hr-1 at 477 oK and 14.9 atm. We will work in a variable volume BATCH reactor at these pressure and temperature conditions to reach 85% conversion. Neglecting pressure changes and assuming that the gases behave as ideal, calculate the time IN HOURS necessary to achieve the desired conversion if you have a feed with a 20% stoichiometric excess of Q.
