The curie (Ci) is a commonly used unit for measuring nuclear radioactivity: 1 curie of radiation is equal to 3.7 × 1010 decay events per second (the number of decay events from l g radium in 1 s). A 1.7-mL sample of water containing tritium was injected into a 150-lb person. The total activity of radiation injected was 86.5 mCi. After some time to allow the tritium activity to equally distribute throughout the body, a sample of blood plasma containing 2.0 mL water at an activity of 3.6 μCi was removed. From these data, calculate the mass percent of water in this 150-lb person.
