The Making of Popcolate(Limiting Reactants Mini-Lab)

After reading LimitingReactants, you may need to try the concept out so that it will sink in. So, here we go.

Now, let us consider the creation of a new candy (and its future mass production).The new candy will be called Popcolate. You make it by the following combination/reaction:

2 P + 3 C ==> 1 P2C3 + Energy



If give a specified amount (number of pieces) of popcorn and candy, how many pieces of Popcolate can be made? Do you have any pieces of popcorn or candy left over? Why?
So, how do we figure this out? If you have not guess by now, it is a limiting reactant problem.So here we go!!!

Directions/Procedures
