When designing a consumer product, it is desirable for it to have a two-year shelf life. Often this means that the active ingredient in the product should not decrease by more than 5% in two years. If the reaction is first order, and the rate constant is: k = 2.56 × 10-2 yr 1, determine the half-life of an active ingredient that has a shelf life of 2.00 years. The half-life of an active ingredient is i yr.
