    Ok so because the half life is 25 years, the mass will "decrease" by half every 25 years.

    So after 25 years it becomes 2 grams,

    At 50 yrs it becomes one gram

    At 75 years it will be half a gram

    At 100 years it will be a quarter of a gram or 0.25 grams.

    I. e. the final mass is 0.25 grams
