Question

A small quantity of solution containing of  $$11Na$$ $$24$$ radionuclide $$t1/2=15hrs$$ of activity $$1.0$$μCi is injected in to the blood of a person. A sample of the blood of volume $$1cm3$$ taken after $$5hour$$ shows an activity of $$296$$ dpm. Determine the total volume of the blood in the body of the person. Assume the radioactive solution mixes uniformly in the blood of the person $$1.0Ci=3.7$$×$$1010dps(antilog$$ of $$0.1$$≃$$1.26)$$
