Question

Which ingredient is the limiting reactant if you have 6 cups of flour, 9 eggs, and 2 tbs of oil? given: 2 cups of flour + 3 eggs + 1 tbs of oil latex: \longrightarrow ⟶ 4 waffles?

Answer 1

The oil is the limiting reactant.

For this recipe, we are able to only make 2 batches with the ingredients that we have.

It would take: 4 cups of flour, 6 eggs and 2 tbs of oil.

We have enough for each of this. However, if we try to make more, we don't have any more oil that would be needed.
