After 34,29.109 years: 7,812 5 kg; after 36.109 years: approx. 6 kg.
A standard piece of notebook paper weighs about 4.5 grams.
The United Kingdom began minting the two penny piece in its current form in 1971. The coin weighs 7.12 grams.
A single piece of fingernail typically weighs less than 1 milligram, so it is very light.
A 12x12x1 piece of mild steel weighs approximately 40.8 pounds.
A silver fifty cent piece weighs about 12.5 grams.
Half life is the time taken for half the atoms to decay. Whatever mass you start with, if it is a sample consisting of one pure uranium isotope, you will have half that mass of uranium after one half life. The piece of metal will not weigh half of the original mass, because the decay products will be there. In practice, a piece of uranium usually consists of a mixture of isotopes with different half lives.

Because the uranium dust is inhaled and accumulated in the lungs; long term inhalation of uranium (or uranium compounds, also liquid aerosols) can lead to lungs cancer. Handling a piece of uranium with gloves is not dangerous (excepting of course the irradiated uranium; in this case we use hot cells).
When speaking of an isotope, one is concerned with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus.
If a solid piece of uranium goes through a process like fission, the amount of uranium left would depend on the specific fission reactions that occur. During fission, uranium atoms split into smaller atoms, releasing energy and more neutrons which can continue the reaction. Some uranium atoms may be converted into other elements through the fission process, so the amount of remaining uranium would be less than the original piece.
Uranium is a solid metal; the non-oxydated surface of a uranium piece is lustrous, very similar with the aspect of steels.
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
A grain of salt or a small paperclip typically weighs around a milligram.
A piece of uncooked popcorn weighs more then a poped peice of popcorn.
A standard piece of notebook paper weighs about 4.5 grams.
