Answer

0.57 g

Work Step by Step

$t=5.5\,d$ $N_{0}=1.55\,g$ $t_{1/2}=3.8\,d$ $k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{0.693}{3.8\,d}=0.1823684\,d^{-1}$ Recall: $\ln \frac{N_{t}}{N_{0}}=-kt$ $\implies \ln \frac{N_{t}}{1.55\,g}=-0.1823684\,d^{-1}\times5.5\,d=-1.003$ $\implies \frac{N_{t}}{1.55\, g}=e^{-1.003}= 0.366777 $ $\implies N_{t}=1.55\,g\times0.366777= 0.57\,g$
