A first-order homogeneous liquid-phase reaction (ABA \rightarrow B) occurs in a non-ideal isothermal reactor operating at steady state. The variance (σ2\sigma^2) of residence time distribution (RTD) from a pulse tracer experiment is 4 min24 \text{ min}^2. The volumetric flow rate of the feed is 5 L min15 \text{ L min}^{-1} and volume of the reactor is 25 L25 \text{ L}. The reaction rate constant is 0.4 min10.4 \text{ min}^{-1}. Based on the tanks-in-series model, the conversion (in \%) is _______ (rounded off to one decimal place).
