If you have a truckload of icecream, a bucket of sauce, a box of peanuts but only 1 cherry, you can only make 1 complete sundae.

In this case the cherry is the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent is the term given to the ingredient (read: reactant) that has the (stoichiometrically) least amount. The other reactants are said to be in excess. In a reaction the limiting reagent will be totally consumed, and some of the reactant in excess will be leftover.
Required:
If you have 20 scoops of ice cream, 14 squirts of chocolate sauce, 5 spoons of peanuts and 7 cherries, how many sundaes can you make and which ingredient is the limiting reagent?

Answer:

<em>Only 5 sundaes can be made</em>

<em>The limiting reagent is the peanuts.</em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

A perfect ice cream sundae requires exactly:

• 3 scoops of ice cream

• 2 squirts of chocolate sauce

• 1 spoon of peanuts

• 1 cherry

If you have 7 scoops of ice cream, 3 spoons of peanuts, 5 cherries and 11 squirts of sauce, you can only

make 2 complete sundaes. In this case, the icecream is the limiting reagent.

If you have a truckload of icecream, a bucket of sauce, a box of peanuts but only 1 cherry, you can only  make 1 complete sundae. In this case the cherry is the limiting reagent.  The limiting reagent is the term given to the ingredient (read: reactant) that has the (stoichiometrically) least  amount. The other reactants are said to be in excess. In a reaction the limiting reagent will be totally  consumed, and some of the reactant in excess will be leftover.

Critical thinking questions

1. If you have 20 scoops of ice cream, 14 squirts of chocolate sauce, 5 spoons of peanuts and 7 cherries,

how many sundaes can you make and which ingredient is the limiting reagent?

From the ingredients for a a complete sundae given above,

20 scoops of icecream will make 20/3 = 6.66 sundaes

14 squirts of chocolate sauce will make 14/2 = 7 sundaes

5 spoonful of peanuts will make 5/1 = 5 sundaes

7 cherries will make 7/1 = 7 sundaes

From the above, we can work out that only 5 sundaes can be made, and the limiting agent here is peanuts, which has the least amount of sundae that can be made from its available amount.

In a process called photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water, along with energy from sunlight, to produce sugar and o
Alex Ar [27]

24 molecules of H2O are needed by the plant to produce 4 molecules of sugar.

<h2>What is photosynthesis?</h2>

The process by which plants convert carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into oxygen and sugar-based energy is known as photosynthesis.

<h3>The photosynthesis equation is as follows:</h3>

                   6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2

The following three significant activities are involved in photosynthesis:

1. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy.

2. Water molecules are divided into hydrogen and oxygen and light energy is converted to chemical energy.

3. Carbon dioxide is converted to sugars.

         

Therefore, a plant needs four molecules of H2O and four molecules of CO2 to make one molecule of glucose or sugar, hence a plant needs 24 molecules of H2O and 24 molecules of CO2 to make four molecules of sugar.
