MOLES TASTE SO GOOD!!!
How many moles are in your favorite recipe?
In this project you will determine the number of moles of at least 5 different ingredients in a recipe of
your choice.
Determine the number of grams of at least 5 different ingredients in your recipe then convert grams
into moles using the Molecular Formula Table and Unit Conversions on the other side of this sheet.
Example: if I was making Chocolate Chip Cookies I would do the following for brown sugar
My recipe calls for 1 cup of brown sugar using the Unit Conversion data on the other side of this sheet I
know that
1 cup of packed brown sugar has a mass of 200 grams
Next I have to determine Molar Mass of brown sugar
Using the Molecular Formula Table I know that the Formula for brown sugar is C12H22O11
Therefore Molar Mass of brown sugar C12H22O11 is 342.34 g/mol
1 cup brown sugar x 200 g brown sugar
1
1 cup brown sugar
x 1 mole C12H22O11 = 0.58 moles brown sugar in recipe
342.34 g C12H22O11
Choose 5 ingredients from your recipe and calculate the number of moles used in making your recipe.
Make your food item and bring it in to share.
