131Iis{}^{131}Iis an isotope of Iodine that β\beta decays to an isotope of Xenon with a half-life of 8days8days . A small amount of a serum labelled with 131I{}^{131}I is injected into the blood of a person. The activity of the amount of 131I{}^{131}I injected was 2.4×1052.4 \times {10}^{5} Becquerel (Bq). It is known that the injected serum will get distributed uniformly in the blood stream in less than half an hour. After 11.5 hours, 2.5 ml of blood is drawn from the person's body, and gives an activity of 115Bq115Bq . The total volume of blood in the person's body, in litres is approximately (you may use ex≈1+x\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}} \approx 1+\mathrm{x} for ∣x∣<<1|\mathrm{x}|<<1 and ln⁡2≈0.7\ln 2 \approx 0.7).

Step-by-step solution

t12=8days{t}_{\dfrac{1}{2}} = 8days

A = {A}_{0}{e}^{- &lambda;t}

{e}^{&lambda;t}\left(115\right) = {A}_{0}

{A}_{0} = 115\left(1 + &lambda;t\right) = 115\left(1 + \dfrac{\ln 2}{{t}_{\dfrac{1}{2}}} × 11.5\right)

A0=115×1.042=119.82{A}_{0} = 115 × 1.042 = 119.82

{A}_{0} &cong; 120Bq

120 Bq is the activity of 2.5 ml

&there4; 2.4 × {10}^{5}Bq is the activity of 2.5×10−3120×2.4×105\dfrac{2.5 × {10}^{- 3}}{120} × 2.4 × {10}^{5}

&there4; Total volume of blood = 5 litres
