<h3>Answer:</h3>

22.06 Hours

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half life is the time it takes for a radioactive material or isotope to decay by half of its initial amount.

We are given;

Radioactive isotope Iodine-133

Initial counts per minute = 3150 counts

Counts after decay = 3055 per minute

Time taken = 1 hour

But, we know that to calculate the remaining amount of the radioactive isotope, then,

Remaining amount = Initial amount × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore;

3055 counts = 3150 × 0.5^n

0.5^n = 0.9698

To get n

n = log 1 ÷ log 0.9698

 = 0.044

But, n is given by dividing time and the number of half lifes

Therefore, half life = time ÷ Number of half lives

                              = 1 hour ÷ 0.044

                              = 22.60 hours

Therefore, the half life of iodine-133 is 22.60 hours

Choose one scientist who made a note-worthy contribution to our current understanding of cells and explain what the contribution
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

There are several scientists that contributed to the understanding of the cell. Some of them and their contributions are as follows:

Anton van Leeuwenhoek: He invented the first primitive microscope and was able to view some unicellular microscopic cells such as protozoans and bacteria. He disproved the theory of spontaneous generation by his discoveries.

Robert Hooke (1665): He improved further on the microscope invented by Leeuwenhoek and was able to view compartment-like rooms when tissues of cork were sectioned. He tagged the compartment as 'cell'.

Schleiden (1804–1881): Using an improved microscope, he was able to extensively study plant tissues and borrowed the word coined by Hooke (cell) to describe the component of the plant tissues.

Theodor Schwann (1810–1882): He studied animal tissues and made a similar observation as Schleiden.

Through their various studies, Schleiden, Schwann, and another scientist, Rudolf Virchow later developed what is nowadays known as the cell theory

Science is a body of knowledge and process of gaining new knowledge, It is also falsifiable.
