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.

the chloride of a metal M contains 47.25% of metal 1.0 gram of metal would be displaced from a compound by 0.88 gram of another
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The equivalent weight of M is approximately 31.8 g

The equivalent weight of N is approximately 27.98 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The percentage of the the metal M in in the chloride = 47.25%

Where by the chemical formula for the metal chloride is MClₓ, we have;

47.25% of the mass of MClₓ = Mass of M = W

Therefore, we have;

\dfrac{0.4725}{W} = \dfrac{1}{W + 35.5 \cdot x}

0.4725 × (W +  35.5·x) = W

0.4725·W + 0.4725×35.5×x = W

W - 0.4725·W  = 16.77·x

0.5275·W = 16.77·x

W/x = 16.77/0.5275 = 31.799 = The equivalent weight of M

The equivalent weight of M = 31.799 ≈ 31.8 g

Given that 1 gram of M is displaced by 0.88 gram of N, then the equivalent weight of N that will displace 31.799 = 0.88 × 31.799 ≈ 27.98 g

The equivalent weight of N = 27.98 g.
