60g after 3 hours, 30g after 6 hours and 15g after 9 hours
Explanation:
Weight of the radioactive sample = 120g
half life time period = 3 hours
(a) The weight of sample after 3 hours

The fraction of sample left

Mass of the sample left

<u>6</u><u>0</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>sample</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>left</u><u> </u><u>after</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>hours</u>
(b) The weight of sample after 6 hours

The fraction of the sample left

Mass of the sample left

<u>3</u><u>0</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>sample</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>left</u><u> </u><u>after</u><u> </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>hours</u>
(c) The weight of sample after 9 hours

The fraction of sample left

Mass of sample left

<u>1</u><u>5</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>sample</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>left</u><u> </u><u>after</u><u> </u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>hours</u><u>.</u>
