Answer:

26.56g

Explanation:

The half life of an isotope decay is the time transcurred when the initial amount of the isotope decays to the half of its amount.

For the problem, when 1 half life transcur, the sample has a mass of:

425g / 2 = 212.5g

When 2 half lives transcur:

212.5g / 2 = 106.25g

3 half lives:

106.25/2 = 53.13g

And the amount that is found after 4 half lives is:

53.13/2 =

26.56g
