You have 12 slices of ham, 4 slices of cheese, 5 tomato slices, 15 pickles, and 10 slices of bread. The reactant which determines the maximum amount of products that can be formed is called limiting reactant. What is the limiting reactant?

Answer:

cheese

Step-by-step explanation:

the cheese would be the limiting factor if your sandwich needs to have ONE of each of the ingredients..then you could only have 4 sandwiches ....is there more info given?

For instance if you need 5 pickles per sandwich, then you could only have 3 sandwiches and pickles would be the limiting reactant.
