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.

Draw the product formed when 2-butanol undergoes reaction with TsCl and Et3N. CH3C6H4SO2Cl.
Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the reaction between 2-butanol with TsCl and Et3N is known as the tosylation of the alcohol hydroxyl group. Alcohol is being changed to tosylate by the use of tosyl chloride under the influence of a base. Tosylation of alcohol is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. From the image attached below, we will see how the reaction between 2-butanol proceed into the product by using tosyl chloride and a base(Et3N).

Which of the following compounds contains the Lead (II) ion?<br> PbO<br> PbCl4<br> Pb2O<br> Pb2S
KATRIN_1 [288]
<span>PbO Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed. PbO. * Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice. PbCl4 * Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice. Pb2O * Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice. Pb2S * Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>
