The homogeneous gas phase reaction A -> 2R is irreversible and of first scheme. At 750 K, the velocity constant has the value k = 0.10 min-1. Calculate the volume of a tube reactor that produces 1 ton R per day at 95% turnover of A, temperature 750 K and atmospheric pressure on incoming flow contains 50% A and the rest inert gas. The molecular weight of R is 200 g / mol. This question has already been answered once but i find the presentation lacking. Could the steps please be shown better and on paper, would truly be appreciated.

Question

The homogeneous gas phase reaction A -> 2R is irreversible and of first
scheme. At 750 K, the velocity constant has the value k = 0.10 min-1.
Calculate the volume of a tube reactor that produces 1 ton R per day at 95% turnover of A, temperature 750 K and atmospheric pressure on incoming flow contains 50% A and the rest inert gas. The molecular weight of R is 200 g / mol.

This question has already been answered once but i find the presentation lacking. Could the steps please be shown better and on paper, would truly be appreciated.
