Answer:

Endocrine disruptor

Explanation:

This means that the four substances, even they are used in different areas like gardening, plastics or pots, all of them change the endocrine system in humans because they imitate the natural hormones and the body stops to produce them or starts to produce more hormones than the body needs.

They are correlate with some illness like cancer, thyroid problems and infertility.

Consider the data presented below. time (s) 0 40 80 120 160 moles of a 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020 part a part complete determ
Whitepunk [10]
To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows 
time         0         40        80       120       160
moles    0.100   0.067  0.045    0.030    0.020


Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
      = -d[A] / t
      = - (0.067-0.100)/40s
      = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
      = -(0.045-0.067)/40
      = 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
      = -(0.030-0.045)/40 s 
     = 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction

rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ   -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction

Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation. 
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is 
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
   = 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
