The document describes how many traditional Hawaiian leis can be made from the available supplies of flowers and plants. It is determined that the limiting reactant is the Hanakumara flowers, as only 100 leis can be made before running out of those flowers, even though there is excess of the other materials. While the calculation shows 100 leis could theoretically be made, the actual yield is 97 leis due to some dead flowers, resulting in a 97% percent yield.

1. Limiting Reactant

2. Hawaiian Leis
The ship docks in Hawaii. The natives on the
island made authentic leis for all of the
tourists. Each lei was made of:
3 Hanakumara Flowers
4 Kunu Plants
2 Piopine

3. They have 300 Hanukumara, 800 Kunu
Plants, and 600 Piopine. How many leis can
they make?
(Remember: each lei consists of 3
Hanakumara Flowers, 4 Kunu Plants, and 2
Piopine)

4. Correct!
They can make 100 leis.
This means the limiting reactant is the Hanakumara
Flower, because you run out of them after making 100
leis. However there is still an excess of Kunu Plants and
Piopine.

5. % Yield
However, some of the flowers were dead
before they could be used, so they could
only make 97 leis.
The percent yield would be 97% because
Actual yield 97
Theoretical yield x100 100 x100
