An isotope dilution experiment was performed to determine the chloride content in a given samples. 5 mg of sodium chloride containing 38 Cl (t ½ = 37.3 min) was added to the unknown samples. The specific activity of the added NaCl was 4.0 × 104 cps/mg. What was the total amount of chloride in the original sample if 400 mg of pure AgCl was isolated and if this material has a count rate of 35 cps above background 148 min after addition of radiotracer.
