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.

What is the electron configuration of an element with atomic number 20? A. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 B. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 C. 1s2 2s2
Cerrena [4.2K]

D.  The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element.  Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell.  So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.

A hot air balloon is filled with 15 moles helium gas and 5 moles nitrogen gas. What is the volume of the balloon at 1.01 atm and
kvasek [131]

<u>Given:</u>

Moles of He = 15

Moles of N2 = 5

Pressure (P) = 1.01 atm

Temperature (T) = 300 K

<u>To determine:</u>

The volume (V) of the balloon

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure of the gas

V = volume

n = number of moles of the gas

T = temperature

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

In this case we have:-

n(total) = 15 + 5 = 20 moles

P = 1.01 atm and T = 300K

V = nRT/P = 20 moles * 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K * 300 K/1.01 atm = 487.7 L

Ans: Volume of the balloon is around 488 L
