an isotope of Iodine that decays to an isotope of Xenon with a half-life of . A small amount of a serum labelled with is injected into the blood of a person. The activity of the amount of injected was 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 . The total volume of blood in the person's body, in litres is approximately (you may use for and ).
Correct answer
5
Step-by-step solution
A = {A}_{0}{e}^{- λt}
{e}^{λt}\left(115\right) = {A}_{0}
{A}_{0} = 115\left(1 + λt\right) = 115\left(1 + \dfrac{\ln 2}{{t}_{\dfrac{1}{2}}} × 11.5\right)
{A}_{0} ≅ 120Bq
120 Bq is the activity of 2.5 ml
∴ 2.4 × {10}^{5}Bq is the activity of
∴ Total volume of blood = 5 litres
