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 15.8 years, half of the original sample of 60Co would have decayed. This means that 8 grams of the original 16 gram sample will remain unchanged after that time period.
Only one thing: extinction.

Nitrogen-16 has a half-life of about 7.13 seconds. After 36.0 seconds, there would be 3 half-lives. Therefore, 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 of the original sample remains unchanged.
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 3 half-lives, half of the original sample would remain unchanged. After the 1st half-life: 300 unchanged atoms. After the 2nd half-life: 150 unchanged atoms. After the 3rd half-life: 75 unchanged atoms would remain.
After 15.8 years, half of the original sample of 60Co would have decayed. This means that 8 grams of the original 16 gram sample will remain unchanged after that time period.
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.
