A sample of .^(14)CO_(2) was to be mixed with ordinary .Co_(2) for a biological tracer experiment. In order that 10^(3) cm^(3) of the diluted gas at NTP should have 10^(4) dis/min, how many muCi Of radiocarbon-14 are needed to prepare 60 L ofthe diluted gas ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :`10 cm^(3)` of the diluted gas at NTP
`10^(4)` dis/min
`(10^(4))/(60)` DPSL
`:.` 60 L (60, 000 `cm^(3)`) of the dilute gas at NTP
`(10^(4) xx 60,000)/(60 xx 10)` dps
Thus, no of `MU Ci` of `.^(14)CO_(2)` needed
`= (10^(4) xx 60,000)/(60 xx 10 xx 3.7 xx 10^(4)) (1 mu Ci = 3.7 xx 10^(4) dps)`
`= 27.03 mu Ci`
