Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
Imagine you and your friends are making hot dogs. A complete hot dog consists of a wiener and
a bun. At the store, you buy four packages of eight wieners and three bags of 10 buns.

Gizmo Warm-up
Just as ingredients can be put together to make a new food,
substances can combine during a chemical reaction to produce
new substances. The substances that undergo change are
called reactants. The new substances are products.
Sometimes during a chemical reaction, one type of reactant will
be used up before the other reactants. This reactant is the
limiting reactant. Using the Limiting Reactants Gizmo™, you
can determine which reactant is limiting in various scenarios.
To begin, make sure H2 + O2 becomes H2O is selected. The small “2” in H2, O2, and H2O is a
subscript. Subscripts represent the number of atoms in a molecule.
1. Use the sliders to set the number of O2 molecules and H2 molecules to two.
A. How many hydrogen molecules (H2) are there? __2_____ Hydrogen
atoms? __4_____
B. How many oxygen molecules (O2) are there? __2_____ Oxygen
atoms? __4_____
