4Na decays β- with a half-life t1/2=15 hours. A solution containing 0.050 μCi of 24Na is injected into a patient's artery. After 4.5 h the patient is taken a blood sample containing 8 pCi/cm3. What does 24Na decay to? Assuming no biological elimination, calculate the liters of blood in the patient.
