Lipids

The heterogeneous classes of organic compounds that are not water-soluble but are dissolved in organic solvents that are non-polar in nature are termed lipids. They are a long chain of fatty acids and esters of alcohols. Lipids are generally seen in seve…

Glycerophospholipid

Glycerophospholipid is the most abundantly occuring phospholipids found in the biological membranes. Lipids include a group of organic compounds like fats, hormones, oils, waxes, vitamins etc. They are non-polar molecules and are insoluble in water. Lipi…

Structure Of Camphor

A terpene with the molecular formula of C10H16O is a waxy, white color solid known as camphor. It is flammable. It also possesses a very pungent taste and a strong odor. There are various sources for extracting camphor from natural products such as the …

Glycolipid In Organic Chemistry

Glycolipids are lipids that are an important class of organic compounds in chemistry that have simple to complex applications. They contain carbohydrates, fatty acids, sphingolipids or a glycerol group. In other words, they are the modifications of lipid…

Diterpenoid

The terpenoid class includes diterpenoids, which are chemical compounds with 20 carbon atoms. They are made up of four isoprene units and are derived from geranylgeraniol, a C20 precursor. They have a C20H32 basic structure. These characteristics disting…

Textbook Question

Chapter 15, Problem 27CI

The plastic known as PETE (polyethyleneterphthalate) is used to make plastic soft drink bottles and containers for salad dressing, shampoos, and dishwashing liquids. PETE is made from terphthalic acid and ethylene glycol. Today, PETE is the most widely recycled of all the plastics. In one year, 1.5 × 10 9 lb of PETE are recycled. After it is separated from other plastics, PETE can be used in polyester fabric, door mats, and tennis ball containers. The density of PETE is 1.38 g/mL. (2.6,2.7,14.3)

Chapter 15, Problem 27CI, The plastic known as PETE (polyethyleneterphthalate) is used to make plastic soft drink bottles and

Plastic bottles made of PETE are ready to be recycled.

Draw the line−angel formula for the ester formed from one molecule of terephthalic acid and one molecule of ethylene glycol.
Draw the line−angle formula for the product formed when a second molecule of ethylene glycol reacts with the ester you drew in part a.
How many kilograms of PETE are recycled in one year?
What volume, in liters, of PETE is recycled in one year?
Suppose a landfill holds 2.7 × 10 7 L of recycled PETE. IF all the PETE that is recycled in a year were placed instead in landfills, how many would it fill?
