Q.

A solution containing active cobalt  2760Co having an activity of 0.8 μ Ci and decay constant λ is injected in an animal's body. When 1cm3 blood is drawn from the animal's body after 10 h of injection, the activity was found to be 300dpm (decays per minute). then the total volume of blood in the animal's body is close to [1 Ci = 3.7 x 1010 dps(decays per second) and at t = 10 h the value of eλt = 0.84]

Detailed Solution

Let total volume of blood is V, initial activity A0=0.8μCi its activity at time t A=A0eλt 
activity of x volume A'=AVX=XA0VeλtV=XA0A1eλt
V=1cm38×107×3.7×1010300/60(0.84)=4.97×103cm3=4.97 litre
