Limiting Reactant

You usually have more of at least one ingredient in your house than is needed to make a recipe.  This ingredient is in excess.  Sometimes you barely have enough of an ingredient to make a recipe.  This ingredient is your limiting ingredient because it limits the amount you can make.  Consult the text p.251-252, and if you were absent today, do the "Thought Lab" on p.252.  The unit test is next Monday.
Homework:  Answer the questions on the handout.  Answers are in brackets.  These questions are available on the unit 3 page of the grade 11 section of this site under the title "Limiting Reactant Problems".
