**Kinetics and Equilibrium: Using First- and Second-Order Integrated Rate Laws**

At a certain temperature, the rate of this reaction is first order in \( \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 \), with a rate constant of \( 0.0158 \, \text{s}^{-1} \):

\[ \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 (aq) \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} (aq) + \text{CO}_2 (aq) \]

Suppose a vessel contains \( \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 \) at a concentration of \( 0.330 \, \text{M} \). Calculate how long it takes for the concentration of \( \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 \) to decrease to \( 0.0363 \, \text{M} \). You may assume no other reaction is important.

Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
