The time required is 35 days.
Explanation:
For a third order reaction of the type
the rate law is
color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)-(d[A])/dt = k[A]^3color(white)(a/a)|)))" "
and the integrated rate law is
color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)1/[A]^2 = 1/[A]_0^2 + 2kt color(white)(a/a)|)))" "
The time
t = 1/(2k)(1/[A]^2 - 1/[A]_0^2)
∴
