Unit+8+-+Stoichiometry+Cooking

Stoichiometric Cooking Everyday chemistry is occurring all around us, we just need to make the connection. Cooking is a prime example of mixing reactants together and forming a product. At times, we have to modify our recipe to meet our needs or scale back our recipe because of the lack of necessary ingredients that we have.

We're going to take our favorite recipe and convert it into a balanced chemical equation - full of our own chemical elements and mole relationships. Then we're going to create our own cooking show (you create the show title). Finally, your assessment will be to modify your specific recipe to meet the needs of the scenario you will be presented.
