This mole activity is designed for chemistry students who want to have fun learning the mole while working in a teacher supervised food-prep classroom.
Ingredients:
0.45 moles of White Sucrose 0.45 moles of Brown Sucrose 236.59 cm3 Butter (stick) 4.9 ml or 1 tsp. of a substance that smells like Veratraldehyde 2 large CaCO3 Protective Chambers (Use the albumen and protein filling only) 2 1/4 cups Gluten substitute 4.9 ml or 1 tsp. NaCl 4.9 ml or 1tsp. Sodium Bicarbonate 2 cups of a substance that smells like CacaoWarning:
1) USE ONLY GROCERY STORE BOUGHT INGREDIENTS. NEVER USE ANYTHING FROM THE CHEMISTRY CLASSROOM OR CHEMICAL STORAGE AREA TO MAKE THESE COOKIES.
2) NEVER BRING, EAT, OR WORK WITH FOOD IN THE CHEMISTRY LAB.
3) NEVER USE CHEMISTRY LAB EQUIPMENT FOR MAKING FOOD. ONLY USE CLEAN MEASURING DEVICES FROM THE KITCHEN OR FOOD-PREP CLASSROOM.
Pre-Lab Classwork:
Before students make the cookies, they will need to:
A) use the Merck Index to find the formula for Sucrose and Sodium Bicarbonate.
B) identify the chemical and common names for all given formulas.
C) use the Merck Index to identify the common names for chemically named ingredients.
D) convert moles of brown and white sucrose to grams and then into cups. 1 cup of sucrose = 205.404 g
E) convert 463.555 Kelvin to Celsius and then to Fahrenheit to solve for oven setting (Use [oC X 9/5] +32 = 0F).
