Reactor design problem?

A specially designed vessel is to be used as a reactor for a first-order reaction. Since flow in this vessel is suspected to be non-ideal, tracer tests are conducted and the following concentration readings represent the response at the vessel outlet to a pulse input to the vessel inlet. What conversion can we expect in this reactor if conversion in an ideal CSTR employing the same space time is 82.18%?

How do I find out the rate constant of this reaction and how do i calculate the conversion of the non-ideal reactor?
