1. Acid/Base Rhapsody

2. Is this the real life. Is this just fantasy. No protons around here
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? No protons around here. Hydronium reality. Open your book and take a look and seeeeeeeeeeeee…. I’m just a poor student – prof. give me your sympathy. Marks are easy come, they’re easy go. Sometimes they’re high, sometimes they’re low. As long as you understand it, it doesn’t really matter to me - to me.

3. Mama, just had my class, Learned about Arrhenius, Bronsted Lowry, Lewis acids. Conjugate acid/base pairs. Amphoteric and hydrides pull my hair. Mama, oo-ooo-ooo-ooh, Some salts with hydrolize.
If I don’t call again this time tomorrow. Carry on, carry on, I’m studying for this test.

4. Mama lots to learn acids strong and weak.
Leveling affect- an A is what I seek.
Acid-ionization constants-O, my brain is sore.
Oxyacids, indicators change color!
Mama oooooooooo.
Water auto-ionizes forms hydroxide and hydronium all the time. What??

5. I see a little acid and its conjugate base - Got a buffer! Got a buffer! Will you do the calculation?! Want a certain pH, find the pka that’s near. Bronsted-Lowry, Bronsted-Lowry,
Bronsted-Lowry, Bronsted-Lowry rules the day.
O-o-o-o-ow… I’m just a poor student spent my money at dance clubs. He’s just a poor student studies titrations at home. Spare him this question of a polyprotic acid.

6. Easy come easy go-indicator tells you
Now is the endpoint near
I overshot again (and over)
I think I got it now…. I got it now
OhOhOhOhOhOh
Indicator, indicator, indicator lets me know
The lab TA has a buret to decide for me.
for me, for me, For MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

7. So you think you can do an acid/base titration
So you think you can do an acid/base titration!!! But when you overshoot the endpoint, it just leads to frustration. Oh, maybe, just a little more base maybe.
I’ll think I’ll get it right. I got to get it right this time.

8. Doesn’t really matter-acid or base the same.
Doesn’t really matter to meeeeeeeeeee.
Doesn’t really matter to me.
