sanitary pads and diapers contain higher phthalate contents than those in common commercial plastic products

Chemistry

Vitek1552 [10]2 years ago

The correct answer is because sanitary pads and diapers are in direct contact with external genitalia for an extended period of time, a significant amount of VOCs or phthalates may be absorbed into the reproductive system.

Sanitary pads and diapers are made of synthetic plastic materials that can leach into the environment when used. The amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (methylene chloride, toluene, and xylene) and phthalates (DBP, DEHP, DEP, and BBP) found in sanitary pads and diapers were measured in this study. VOC and phthalate concentrations in sanitary pads varied by 5,900 and 130 times, respectively. VOC and phthalate concentrations in diapers varied by three and sixty-three times between brands. The VOC concentrations in sanitary pads and diapers were comparable to those in residential air. However, sanitary pads and diapers had significantly higher phthalate concentrations than common commercial plastic products.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. 0.5 mol

b. 1.5 mol

c. 0.67

Explanation:

Fe3+ + SCN- -----> [FeSCN]2+

a. The ratio of the product to Fe3+ is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of Fe3+ was used. Leaving 0.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

b. The ratio of the product to SCN= is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of SCN- was used. Leaving 1.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

c. KC =  0.5/(0.5*1.5) =  0.67

Determine whether or not each ion contributes to water hardness.
Virty [35]

Answer: The ion that contribute to water hardness are:

--> a. Ca2+

--> b. (HCO)3^- and

--> c. Mg2+

While K+ DOES NOT contribute to water hardness.

Explanation:

WATER in chemistry is known as a universal solvent. This is so because it is polar in nature and dissolves most inorganic solutes and some polar organic solutes to form aqueous solutions. It is composed of elements such as hydrogen and oxygen in the combined ratio of 2:1.

Water is said to be HARD if it does not lather readily with soap. There are two types of water hardness:

--> Permanent hardness: This is mainly due to the presence of CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM ions in the form of soluble tetraoxosulphate(VI) and chlorides. These ions are removed by adding washing soda or caustic soda.

--> Temporary hardness: This is due to the presence of calcium HYDROGENTRIOXOCARBONATES. It can be removed by boiling and using slaked lime.

Therefore from the above given ions, Ca2+,(HCO)3^- and Mg2+ contributes to water hardness.
