1) Despite the radical increase in the use of plastics over the last few decades, the mass of plastics at landfills stayed pretty much the same. Which statement explains this contradicting phenomenon?
a) The mass of plastic at landfills has not changed because there are less plastic products on the market.
b) The mass of plastic at landfills has not changed because the population is increasing.
c) The mass of plastic at landfills has not changed because of light weighting, which reduces the mass of plastic in a container.
Paragraph 5: Discuss Fractional Distillation of
petroleum oil to give the chemical feedstock to
make synthetic polymers for commercial use of
products in our daily lives and discuss your
personal thoughts on incresing US drilling in the
Gulf of Mexico or in the Artic. Think about it, every
time you go to the grocery store and get a plastic
bag which immediately gets discarded. Include
your thoughts on mandatory recycling in the US
especially for schools, government buildings, etc.
Give a definition of what polymers are, and what is their application or use in everyday life

This is the story of three plastic bottles, empty and discarded. Their journeys are about to diverge with outcomes that impact nothing less than the fate of the planet. But they weren't always this way. To understand where these bottles end up, we must first explore their origins. The heroes of our story were conceived in this oil refinery. The plastic in their bodies was formed by chemically bonding oil and gas molecules together to make monomers. In turn, these monomers were bonded into long polymer chains to make plastic in the form of millions of pellets. Those were melted at manufacturing plants and reformed in molds to create the resilient material that makes up the triplets' bodies. Machines filled the bottles with sweet bubbly liquid and they were then wrapped, shipped, bought, opened, consumed and unceremoniously discarded. And now here they…arrow_forward
- A chemist working as a safety inspector finds an unmarked bottle in a lab cabinet. A note on the door of the cabinet says the cabinet is used to store bottles of carbon tetrachloride, diethylamine, pentane, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran. The chemist plans to try to identify the unknown liquid by measuring the density and comparing to known densities. First, from his collection of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), the chemist finds the following information: liquid density - 3 1.6 g·cm carbon tetrachloride diethylamine - 3 0.71 g·cm pentane 3 0.63 g cm 3 0.79 g cm acetone tetrahydrofuran - 3 0.89 g cm Next, the chemist measures the volume of the unknown liquid as 1.427 L and the mass of the unknown liquid as 894. g.
