Chapter 30, Problem 30.57P

Researchers at Rutgers University have developed biocompatible polymers that degrade into nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, the reaction of two equivalents of benzyl salicylate and one equivalent of sebacoyl chloride forms a poly (anhydride ester) called PolyAspirin, which hydrolyzes to salicylic acid (an anti-inflammatory agent) and sebacic acid, which is excreted. This technology can perhaps be used for localized drug delivery at specific sites of injury. What is the structure of PolyAspirin?

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.
