Problem

A solution contains 1 milli curie of LL-phenyl alanine C14\text{C}^{14} (uniformly labelled) in 2.0 mL solution. The activity of labelled sample is given as 150 milli curie/milli mole. Calculate: (a) the concentration of sample in the solution in mole/litre. (b) the activity of the solution in terms of counting per minute/mL at a counting efficiency of 80%.
