The formula for finding the amount of radio active substance that remainsafter decomposition is A = N(1/2) ^y, where A is the mass remaining, N is the original mass of a radioactive sample and y is the number of half life. In this case, N = 10 g and y = 6/2 = 3. So A is given by 10 x (1/2)^3, which is 10 x 1/2 x1/2 x 1/2 = 1.25 grams.

How much cesium would remain from a 10 g sample after 6 years?

After 6 years, approximately 5 grams of cesium-137 would remain from a 10 g sample due to its half-life of around 30 years. This decay is exponential, with about half of the original sample decaying every 30 years.

As you did not specify an isotope of cesium, I will assume you meant natural cesium. Natural cesium is not radioactive so it does not decay. There will always be the same 10 g of cesium, no matter how long you wait.
