Reaction Song Project 3/25/07
Here it is, my song about strong acids to the tune of "Under the Sea" (from
the Disney version of "The Little Mermaid"). All chemical names need to be
read as a formula in order to maintain the proper cadence). I hope you enjoy
it!
HNO3
(To the tune of Under the Sea)
Solutions is always brighter
In somebody else’s flask
You dream about doing that lab,
But that’s someone else’s task
Just look at the jars around you
Right here on the storeroom shelf
Such cool strong acids surround you,
So go and use them yourself.
HNO3, HNO3
Darling it’s better when it is wetter
Take it from me
Out in the lab they work all day,
But with acids you get to play
While they reacting you be dissolving
HNO3, ha-ha
Oh my, all of these strong acids
HBr and HCl
They are not just any acids
For they ionize so well.
Into H2O they go now
Oh yes, this part is a must,
Fully they dissociate, wow!
Into ions and H+.
Oh now! HNO3
HNO3
Put in da meter or indicator
And you will see
That the pH is oh so low,
Far less than 3 or 2.0,
They neutralize well and oxidize well
HNO3 (HNO3)
HNO3 (HNO3)
Happy is they, hey, with their high Ka
Infinity (Infinity-ee-ee-ee)
HClO4 and HI
Just don’t get them into your eye
Boy you would feel it, and never heal it
HNO3.
Bronsted, what he said
Lowry, he agree
Protons they donate and that’s their theory
The base they titrate
And salts they create
When they react mole to mole!
Solutions they make, the current goes far
HClO3
H2SO4
With methyl violet
Or with thymol blue
They will change color too!
Yeah, HNO3
HNO3
6 or 10 molar, they melt any boulder
It’s cool chemistry!
You can melt gold with aqua regia
Other can’t do it that’s what I’ll bet ya
Each little proton dissociates on
HNO3
And each anion stays in solution
HNO3
Don’t be afraid now, for you can say now
‘Strong acids are easy, their questions are breezy
AP can’t me just don’t forget the
HNO3!’
