Question

A box of pancake mix has the following instructions:

 

To make 12 pancakes, combine 2 cups of mix, 2 eggs, and 1 cup of milk. 

 

  1. You had 12 eggs and excess (more than enough) of the other ingredients. You want to make as many pancakes as possible. How many can you make?



If you only wanted to make 6 pancakes (Half the recipe), determine how much of every reactant you would need. 

_____ cup(s) of mix

_____ eggs

_____ cup(s) of milk 

 

If you wanted to completely react 8 cups of mix, how many eggs and cups of milk would you need?

______ eggs

______ cups of milk 

 

You want to make as many pancakes as possible with the ingredients you currently have. You have: 10 cups mix, 8 eggs, and 6 cups of milk. 

In chemistry, a limiting reactant is the reactant that you will run out of first. An excess reactant is one that is not completely consumed. What will be the limiting reactant in this scenario?

How many pancakes can you make?

For your excess reactants, how much is left of each?
