6 hours = 2 half lives, thus 25 % would remain. 0.25 x 2 mg = 0.5 mg.Done another way...fraction remaining = 0.5^n where n = number of half lives = 6hr/3hr = 2fraction remaining = 0.5^2 = 0.250.25 x 2 mg = 0.5 mg
This would depend on the specific sample and its stability. Without additional information, it is not possible to determine how much of the sample would remain unchanged after two hours.
After 132 hours, 1/4 of the initial sample of 10 Ci of Mo-99 would remain. Since the half-life is 66 hours, after 66 hours half of the sample would remain (5 Ci), and after another 66 hours (totaling 132 hours), half of that remaining amount would be left.

If the substance has a half-life of 10 years, there would be 10 half-lives in a 100-year span. Each half-life reduces the amount by half, so after 100 years, 1/2^10 = 1/1024 grams of the sample would remain.
