To find the total number of gallons released into the ocean in one year, we need to multiply the amount of water released per second by the number of seconds in a year.

Total gallons released in one year = (5.5 x 10^7 gallons/second) x (3.2 x 10^7 seconds/year)
= 1.76 x 10^15 gallons/year

Therefore, the Amazon River releases approximately 1.76 x 10^15 gallons of water into the Atlantic Ocean every year.
