Initial amount, A_o=150\ g .

Final amount, A =10\ g .

Time taken, t = 6:00 - 2:00 = 4 hour.

We know,

A=A_o(\dfrac{1}{2})^{\dfrac{t}{h}}\\\\10 = 150 \times \dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{4}{h}}\\\\2^{\dfrac{4}{h}}=15\\\\\dfrac{4}{h}= log_215\\\\h = \dfrac{4}{log_215}\\\\h = 1.024 \ hours

Therefore, the half-life of the isotope is 1.024 hours.

Hence, this is the required solution.
