2. Original recipe 1- 8 oz. of cream cheese 1 pound of ground beef
1 pound of taco seasoning
12 oz. of salsa
1- 8 oz. package of shredded cheese

3. Recipe Directions Brown the ground beef Drain grease

8 oz. of Shredded Cheese= 227 grams
12 oz. of Salsa = 340 grams
Example of Calculation:
8 oz. = 1 lb g = 227 grams
16 oz lb

5. Chemical change
Browning the ground beef- It changes the color, and taste. Heat and gas is produced.
Simmering the product after adding the taco mix and salsa.

6. Physical change Melting the cheese- melting point
Adding taco seasoning- mixing
Adding salsa- mixing
Softening the cream cheese- the texture is changed and heat is added (melting point)
Adding the taco mixture to the ground beef- mixing all the ingredients together

7. An ionic compound involved
Name: Cream Cheese

9. stoichiometry
17 servings x recipe amount recipe serving 17 x 8 oz = 5.4 oz of cream cheese oz of Hamburger .68 package of taco seasoning 8.16 oz of salsa oz of pack of shredded cheese

10. Is it practical to make adjusted amount?
No because the amounts are undoable.

11. energy Maybe do something with the Calories in the food
Not sure how to do this, might drop it or make it extra credit – probably 5 pts
Probably get to this 16th week
