The half-life of N2O5 is 24 hours, so after 96 hours, the amount of N2O5 remaining would be 0.63g. This is because the amount of substance remaining after each half-life is one-half of the original amount, and there have been 4 half-lives in the 96-hour period. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 0.63 g.
