Phoenix [80]

Answer:

1 gram

Explanation:

Half life = 25 years

Starting mass = 16 grams

Time = 100 years

Number of half lives = Time / Duration of Half life = 100 / 25 = 4

After first Half life;

Remaining mass = 16 / 2 = 8 g

After Second Half life;

Remaining mass = 8 / 2 = 4 g

After Third Half life;

Remaining mass = 4 / 2 = 2 g

After Fourth Half life;

Remaining mass = 2 / 2 = 1 g
