For this problem, we use the formula for radioactive decay which is expressed as follows:
An = Aoe^-kt
where An is the amount left after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant.
We calculate as follows:
An = Aoe^-kt
0.5 = e^-k(5730)
k = 1.21x10^-4
An = Aoe^-kt
An = 200e^-1.21x10^-4(17190)
An = 25
Therefore, about 175g is produced.
