Basic Stoichiometry PhET Lab
Let's make some sandviches!

Introduction:
When we bake/cook something, we use a specific amount of each ingredient. Imagine if you made a batch of cookies and used way too many eggs, or not enough sugar. YUCK! In chemistry, reactions proceed with very specific recipes. The study of these recipes is stoichiometry. When the reactants are present in the correct amounts, the reaction will produce products. What happens if there are more or less of some of the reactants present?

Vocabulary: Before you begin, please define the following:
Limiting Reactant: ______________________________________________________________________
Excess Reactant: ______________________________________________________________________
Synthesis Reaction: ______________________________________________________________________
Combustion Reaction: ______________________________________________________________________
Mole Ratio: ______________________________________________________________________
Diatomic Molecule: ______________________________________________________________________
Mole: ______________________________________________________________________
Hydrocarbon: ______________________________________________________________________

Part 1: Making Sandviches:
1. The is a simulation of a two-reactant synthesis reaction. In this case, one reactant will be limiting, while the other will be in excess.
2. Take some time and familiarize yourself with the simulation.
3. Set the reaction to a simple mole ratio of 2:1:1
