A first-order homogeneous liquid-phase reaction (ABA \rightarrow B) occurs in an adiabatic, ideal mixed flow reactor operating at steady state. The volumetric flow rate of the feed is 4 L min14 \text{ L min}^{-1} and volume of the reactor is 20 L20 \text{ L}. At the reactor temperature of 500 K500 \text{ K}, the reaction rate constant is 1 min11 \text{ min}^{-1}, and heat of reaction is 20 kcal mol1-20 \text{ kcal mol}^{-1}. The average heat capacity of the feed as well as the reaction mixture in the temperature range of interest is 0.3 kcal mol1 K10.3 \text{ kcal mol}^{-1}\text{ K}^{-1}. At the inlet, the feed temperature (in K) is _________ (rounded off to one decimal place).
