Chemical A reacts to form R (k 1 = 6 hr -1 ) and R reacts away

Question:

Chemical A reacts to form R (k₁ = 6 hr^-1) and R reacts away to form S (k₁= 3 hr^-l). In addition R slowly decomposes to form T (k₂= 1 hr^-I). If a solution containing 1.0 mollliter of A is introduced into a batch reactor, how long would it take to reach C_{R_,MAX} and what would be C_R,MAX?
