Chapter 5: Q.5.74 (page 165)

The activity of C-14 in a 70kg human body is estimated to be 3.7 kBq. What is this activity in microcuries?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The activity is $1 脳 10^{- 4} mCi$

Step by step solution

Given Information

The activity of C- $14$ in a $70$ kg human body is estimated to be $3.7$ kBq.

Explanation

Converting to mCi,

$3.7 kBq 脳 \frac{1 mCi}{37000 kBq} = 1 脳 10^{鈭� 4} mCi$

Hence the activity is $1 脳 10^{- 4} mCi$
