Answer:

64822

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-life model:

            [tex]P=P_o* \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{t}{D}}[/tex]

[tex]P_o[/tex] is the initial value, D is the time taken for the quantity to reduce half-life and t is the given time period.

       [tex]\sf P_o = 259,288 \ grams\\\\D = 1 \ hour\\\\t = 2 \ hours[/tex]

            [tex]P = 259,288*(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{2}{1}\\\\P = 259,288*(\frac{1}{2})^2\\\\P = 259,288*\frac{1}{4}\\\\P = 64822[/tex]
