BPA‚ is a carbon based synthetic compound belonging to the group of diphenylmethane derivatives and bisphenols. The chemical formula for BPA is (CH3)2C(C6H4OH)2. BPA was first synthesized in 1891‚ and was recognized as a synthetic estrogen in the 1930s. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of BPA in 1960 to manufacture certain plastics and epoxy resins. This chemical compound of synthetic estrogen is used to harden plastics and resins‚ while keeping them lightweight. BPA is found

Chemical changes are irreversible because substances mix and cause a reaction which creates a new substance. Chemical changes can be caused when a substance is combined with a heat‚ water or another substance. Heat can cause a chemical reaction called caramelisation which is when sugar is heated at a high temperature causing it to break down. This gives the sugar a nutty
