A human body required 0.01M activity of a radioactive substance after 24 hours. Half life of the radioactive substance is 6 hours. The injection of maximum activity of the radioactive substance that can be injected is :

A

0.08

B

0.04

C

0.16

D

0.32

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`t_(1//2)=6` hr
`:.` 24 hr =4 half life periods
Activity after n-half lives `=([A]_(0))/(2^(n))`
`0.01M=([A]_(0))/(2^(4))`
`:.[A]_(0)=0.01xx16=0.16M`
