Chapter 14, Problem 61E
Each night you measure your height just before going to bed. When you arise each morning, you measure your height again and consistently find that you are 1 inch taller than you were the night before, but only as tall as you were 24 hours ago! Is what happens to your body in this instance best described as a physical change or a chemical change? Be sure to try this activity if you haven’t already.

You are evaluating two biodegradable polymers, Polymer A and Polymer B, for material to release
hormonal birth control. The hormone drug is attached to the polymer backbone and drug is released
as the polymer degrades. You collect the following data on drug released from the polymer every 5
days over a 30-day study. State the mechanism by which Polymer A and Polymer B degrades and
calculate the rate constant, k, of degradation for Polymer A and Polymer B to 2 significant digits.
