60 days have passed. In every 12 days the radioisotope loses half of its life. So in the first 12 days, from 160 grams it decreases to half so it becomes 80 grams. The second 12 days, from 80 grams, it decreases to half and becomes 40 g. The third 12 days, from 40 it becomes half to 20 g. The fourth 12 days, from 20 g it becomes half to 10 g. And in the fifth 12 days, from 10 g it becomes half to 5 grams. So 5 times it became half.
5 x 12 ( days)= 60 days

Ammonia (NH3) can be produced by the reaction of hydrogen gas with nitrogen gas:
sp2606 [1]
B) 40%  
The balanced equation indicates that for every 3 moles of H2 used, 2 moles of NH3 will be produced. So the reaction if it had 100% yield would produce (2.00 / 3) * 2 = 1.333333333 moles of NH3. But only 0.54 moles were produced. So the percent yield is 0.54 / 1.3333 = 0.405 = 40.5%. This is a close enough match to option "b" to be considered correct.
