BPA is xenoestrogen as it mimics estrogen.

Xenoestrogens are xenohormones (the substances which mimics hormones, can be natural or synthetic) which mimics estrogen

They may disturb the reproductive system of human beings.

A gas occupies 100 mL at 150. kPa. Find its volume at 200. kPa. You must show all your work to receive credit. Be sure to identi
PtichkaEL [24]

The Boyle-Mariotte's law or Boyle's law is one of the laws of gases that <u>relates the volume (V) and pressure (P) of a certain amount of gas maintained at constant temperature</u>, as follows:

PV = k

where k is a constant.

We can relate the state of a gas at a specific pressure and volume to another state in which the same gas is at different P and V since the product of both variables is equal to a constant, according to the Boyle's law, which will be the same regardless of the state of the gas. In this way,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Where P₁ and V₁ is the pressure and volume of the gas to a state 1 and P₂ and V₂ is the pressure and volume of the same gas in a state 2.

In this case, in the state 1 the gas occupies a volume V₁ = 100 mL at a pressure of P₁ = 150 kPa. Then, in the state 2 the gas occupies a volume V₂ (that we must calculate through the boyle's law) at a pressure of P₂ = 200 kPa.  Substituting these values in the previous equation and clearing V₂, we have,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ → V₂ = \frac{P1V1}{P2}  

→ V₂ = \frac{100 mL x 150 kPa}{200 kPa}

→ V₂ = 75 mL

Then, the volume occupied by the gas at 200 kPa is V₂ = 75 mL

A crow flies 100 meters east in 5 minutes. What is the crow’s velocity?​
torisob [31]

<em>Answer:</em>  20 m/min east

<em>Explanation:</em>  The speed is distance divided by time

distance between start-point and end-point = 100 meters

<em>time to cover the distan</em>ce  =  5 minutes

100 m ÷ 5 min = 20 m/min east

y<u>ou have to add east since velocity is the measure of speed and direction and your answer needs to include the direction</u>

The blank <br> and the blank <br> of atoms are the same on both sides of a chemical equation.
tester [92]

Answer:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
