After the first half-life, 1/2 is unchanged. After the 2nd one, 1/4 remains. After the 4th one, 1/16 remains. So you have 4 half-lives in 48 hours, the half-life is thus 12 hours.

How many grams of nitroglycerin are needed to produce 25.0 grams of CO2
LekaFEV [45]
N<em>itroglycerin  decomposes    according  to   the   following  equation

4 C3H5N309  --->  12 CO2 +  10 H20  +  6 N2 +O2
The  moles  of  CO2 =  25 /44(molar  mass  of  CO2)=  0.568  moles

the  mole  ratio  of  C3H5N3O9  to  CO2  IS  4:12   from  equation  above
therefore  the  moles  of  C3H5N3O9=( 0.568 x 4)/12= 0.189  moles
mass  of C3H5N3O9=moles  x  molar  mass  of  C3N5N3O9

That  is    0.189 mol x  227  g/mol=  42.903  grams</em>
