    The document discusses a new coloring agent for drinks that fades over time following first order kinetics. It has a half-life of 712 days, and the shelf-life should be the time until 10% of the coloring agent degrades. Based on the half-life and 10% degradation point, the recommended shelf-life is approximately 2.3 years from the production date.

    We have identified a coloring agent to add to our drinks – it gives the drink a very
    interesting colour.
    However, some customers have complaint about fading colours.

    Our scientists have investigated the reaction – the molecules degrades following first
    order kinetics with a half-life of 712 days.
    You can detect a change in colour, when 10% of the molecule have degraded.

    What is the shelf-life we should advise? How long does it take from the production
    date, until 10% of the coloring agent has degraded?
