Lyrics:
I can help you define
Bronsted Lowry Acid bases……
Tell me Arrhenius now when did you last let water decide…
Lewis opened our eyes
Electron acceptors and donors
Lone pairs no longer loners
On an electrophilic ride
A new pH
A new logarithmic point of view
End points can help us know
pH is low
Psychedelic dreaming
A new pH
A dazzling buffer that I knew
But when we add strong base
Or HCl
A pH shift is small but true
Equivalence points
End points are revealing
Titrate substrates reacting
In an erlenmeyer flask!
A new pH
Don’t you dare rub your eyes
NOx and SOx gases help us see
Hold your breath it gets thicker
I’m like some acid rain
Causing fish eggs pain
pH under 5.6 it will be
Acidic salts a surprise
Neutralizations to pursue
Protons to weak base there
Conjugate acid pair
Let me share this proton now with you
A new pH
Or pOH
A proton donor
A proton acceptor
A thrilling base
Amphoteric trace
For pH 3
