Moles - Intellectual

Two moles of acid and one of magnesium

Will give you one mole of gaseous hydrogen

Magnesium is measured out in grams

And so use the molar mass to convert to moles

Hydrochloric acid is measured in volume

Moles result from liters times concentration

Twenty-two point four liters makes one mole

Of hydrogen gas at one atmosphere and zero, go

Everything reacts in mole ratios

Carbon-twelve is the isotope we use to know

How many atoms are in one mole

Twelve grams contain Avogadro's number, you heard

That's six point oh two times ten to the twenty-third

Everything reacts in mole ratios

One mole of methane burns with two moles of oxygen

Makin' CO2 and H2O like all combustions

Use the mole ratios from the balanced equation

To calculate the maximum product you can make

From any amount of each reactant you've been given

If one is in excess, then the other is limiting

The theoretical yield of either CO2 or H2O

Just base your calculations on moles

Everything reacts in mole ratios
