Question: The reaction in gas phase: A - > R + S , is of first order with respect to reactant the A and its kinetic

The reaction in gas phase: A -> R + S, is of first order with respect to reactant the A and its kinetic constant can be expressed as:
ln k =34.34-34222/ T (k in s-1, T in K)
It is desired to feed 8000 Kg/h of pure A (M: 58 g/mol) to an adiabatic tubular reactor in steady state. If the inlet temperature is 1035 K and the pressure is maintained
constant at 162 kPa, what reactor volume is needed to achieve a conversion of
20% for A.
Data:
A: H298=-216.67(kJ/mol)
CpA =26.63+0.183 T 45.8610-6 T2(J/mol K)
R: H298=-61.09(kJ/mol)
CpR =20.04+0.0945 T-30.9510-6 T2(J/mol K)
S: H298=-74.81 kJ/mol
CpS =13.39+0.077 T 18.7110-6 T2(J/mol K)
