Question:
- Cream cheese frosting is so simple to make:
- ½ cup butter + 8 ounces cream cheese + 4 cups powderedsugar + 2 tsps vanilla à 3 cupsfrosting
a. Suppose you have 175 g of butterand 325 g of powdered sugar. Which ingredient doyou have the least of (in terms of mass)?
b. Since the recipe callsfor cups, not grams, you’ll need toconvert your butter and powdered sugar to cups. 1 cup of powderedsugar = 110 grams; 1 cup of butter = 227 g. Convert bothingredients to cups. Which ingredient do you have theleast of now (in terms of cups)?
c. Use the recipe above to determinehow many cups of frosting you could make from your butter and howmany cups of frosting you could make from your powderedsugar.
d. The ingredient that is able toproduce the least amount of product (frosting)is known as the limiting reactant. Whichingredient, the butter or the powdered sugar, is the limitingreactant? Was this the same ingredient that you had theleast of in parts (a) and (b)??
c. why it was not accurate todetermine the limiting reactant after (b) (converting to cups) butinstead required you to convert to frosting.
