What the guy above said, although he focuses more on the human side. In animals the bioaccumalation can cause toxicity and diseases within them too, and it can cause large loss of life. It also limits plant growth when in high doses, so new life can't grow in the area once the landfill is covered over

Copper is a heavy metal that can harm many people. This process of heavy metals building in your body is called bioaccumulation and the process of this building in the food chain is called biomagnification. Its hard to rid of this heavy metal because it is very dense, therefore, cannot breakdown in our bodies. Heavy metals get consumed by producers and then reach to the top of the pyramid (us) so we have the highest risk of getting diseases and so on. Make sure you explain that heavy metals get passed from industrial purposes where companies do not dispose of waste properly.

If there are 40 mol of NBr3 and 48 mol of NaOH, what is the excess reactant
Vanyuwa [196]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

              Excess Reagent =  NBr₃

<h3>Solution:</h3>

The Balance Chemical Equation for the reaction of NBr₃ and NaOH is as follow,

                       2 NBr₃ + 3 NaOH   →   N₂ + 3 NaBr + 3 HBrO

Calculating the Limiting Reagent,

According to Balance equation,

               2 moles NBr₃ reacts with  =  3 moles of NaOH

So,

           40 moles of NBr₃ will react with  =  X moles of NaOH

Solving for X,

                       X  =  (40 mol × 3 mol) ÷ 2 mol

                       X  =  60 mol of NaOH

It means 40 moles of NBr₃ requires 60 moles of NaOH, while we are provided with 48 moles of NaOH which is Limited. Therefore, NaOH is the limiting reagent and will control the yield of products. And NBr₃ is in excess as some of it is left due to complete consumption of NaOH.
