(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of Nomex is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The
The synthetic fibre, Nomex is a polyamide and flame-resistant material that is used to make fire-fighting equipments and clothing. It has very good thermal, chemical and radiation resistance.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of Kevlar is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The polymerization process in which molecules join together with loss of water or methanol is known as condensation polymerization.
The synthetic fabric, Kevlar is a heat-resistant material that is used in the bicycle tyres and racing sails and bulletproof vests. It has high tensile strength.

- The plastic known as PETE (polyethyleneterephthalate) is used to make plastic soft drink bottles and containers for salad dressing, shampoos, and dishwashing liquids. PETE is a polymer of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Today, PETE is the most widely recycled of all the plastics. After it is separated from other plastics, PETE can be used in polyester fabric, door mats, and tennis ball containers. In 2015, 1.84×109 lb1.84×109 lb of PETE bottles were recycled in the U.S. The density of PETE is 1.38 g/mLg/mL. What volume, in liters, of PETE bottles were recycled in 2015 in the U.S.? Express your answer to three significant figures.arrow_forwardThe plastic known as PETE (polyethyleneterephthalate) is used to make plastic soft drink bottles and containers for salad dressing, shampoos, and dishwashing liquids.
