Performing chemical reactions is just like cooking or baking: you combine ingredients in order to make a new thing. We are going to practice our reading recipe skills in hopes that this will help you better understand the concept of stoichiometry (using relationships between compounds involved in a chemical reaction). Below you will find a recipe for baking sugar cookies. Answer the questions that follow about the recipe.
2/3 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
If you have 5.5 cups of flour, 2 cups of butter, 1 cup of sugar, eggs, and an unlimited supply of baking soda and powder, how many cookies can you make?
If you want to make 120 cookies, how much of each ingredient will you need?
