Q. Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope. If

1.0 m g

^{131} I

has an activity of

4.6 \times 10^{12} B q

. What is the half-life of

^{131} I

$^{131} I$ is an isotope of Iodine that $β -$ decays to an isotope of Xenon with a half-life of $8 days$ . A small amount of a serum labelled with $^{131} I$ is injected into the blood of a person. The activity of the amount of $^{131} I$ injected was $2.4 \times 10^{5} Becquerel (Bq)$ . 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 $115 Bq$ . The total volume of blood in the person's body, in $liters$ is approximately _______.
