Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics. Polycarbonate plastics are used in certain food and drink p

ackaging such as baby bottles, water bottles, and other drink containers. People are exposed to BPA when they drink from these containers because the BPA migrates from the container into the beverage. Studies have shown that the ingested BPA may affect the brain, behavior, and reproductive development in fetuses, infants, and children.
What is the scientific claim being made in this paragraph about BPA?

BPA is a chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics.

Polycarbonate plastics are used to make baby bottles and water bottles.

BPA is not harmful to children or adults.

Answer: The scientific claim made is that ingested Bisphenol may affect the brain,behavior ,reproductive foetuses in infants and children

Explanation:

Bisphenol is an organic compounds that is produced majorly to make polycarbonates plastics used by humans daily as feeding bottles, baby bottles, cooler or warmer. BPA is harmful to humans when ingested in that it's imitate the body's hormone and it affect hormones secretion, production, transport I on, function and elimination of the body's naturally produced hormone and this affect the brain, behaviour, reproduction.

Wood deposits recovered from an archaeological site contain 36% of the C-14 they originally contained. How long ago did the tree
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: It was obtained 8515 years ago

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) to find the rate constant:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{5760}=0.00012years^{-1}

b) for completion of 36% of reaction

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{36}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{36}

t = 8515 years

The time was 8515 years.
