Question

Maddie and her friends are making S'mores over the campfire. They have a bag of 48 marshmallows, 2 packs of graham crackers containing 16 grahams per pack, and 5 chocolate bars that can each be broken into 15 pieces. If Maddie's group wants to make S'mores for all, how many can they make and what the limiting reactant? Select one: a. They can make 15 S'mores and the chocolate is the limiting reactant. b. They can make 16 S'mores and the grahams are the limiting reactant. c. They can make 24 S'mores and the marshmallows are the limiting reactant. d. They can make 25 S'mores and the chocolate is the limiting reactant.

Explanation / Answer

Ans b. They can make 16 S'mores and the grahams are the limiting reactant.

Milk chocolate pieces available are 15×5 = 75 which may make 75/3 = 25 S'mores

marshmallows are 48 which could make 48/2 = 24 S'mores

the total number of Graham available are 16×2 = 32 which are sufficient for just 16 S'mores

so Graham crackers is the limiting reactant here.
