The concept of determining which reactant is limiting and which is in excess is akin to determining the number of sandwiches that can be made from a set number of ingredients. assuming that a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese, determine the number of whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared from 52 slices of bread and 81 slices of cheese.

Respuesta :

52/2 = 26 sandwiches (based on how much bread we have)
81/3 = 27 sandwiches (based on how much cheese we have)

26 whole cheese sandwiches can be made. The bread is limiting.
