Thermosetting polymers are less likely to be recycled than thermoplastic polymers because: Thermosetting polymers are less likely to be recycled than thermoplastic polymers because: Some other reason. They are so cheap that it is not worthwhile to recycle them. They cannot be re-melted by heating to form into new shapes. They are so durable that there are not enough thermosetting polymers in the waste stream to set up a recycling program.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
