A Chemistry Song...

Rules For Solubility

(Taken from Cornell University - Chemistry Department)
(Sing to Rhythm of 99 Bottles)

Potassium, sodium, and ammonium salts,
          Whatever they may be,
                Can always be depended on
                        For solubility.

                            When asked about the nitrates
                                        The answer is always clear,
                                                They each and all are soluble,
                                                        Is all we want to hear.

                                                            Most every chloride's soluble
                                                                        At least we've always read
                                                                            Save silver, mercurous mercury
                                                                                And (slightly) chloride of lead.

                                                                                    Every single sulfate Is soluble ,
                                                                                        'Tis said 'Cept barium and strontium
                                                                                      And calcium and lead.

                                                                        Hydroxides of metals won't dissolve
                                                                        That is, all but three
                                                                Potassium, sodium and ammonium
                                                           Dissolves quite readily.

                                                And then you must remember
                                                That you must not "forgit"
                                            Calcium, barium, strontium
                                        Dissolve a little bit.


                            The carbonates are insoluble,
                                        It's lucky that it's so,
                                            Or else, our marble buildings
                                                Would melt away like snow.

                                                    (Repeat with feeling)
                                                              Potassium, sodium, and ammonium salts
                                                                    Whatever they may be
                                                                           Can always be depended on
                                                                                For solubility!

this :P
It is perhaps the narcotic. Hyoscine affects certain people very oddly. One cannot be sure. Sometimes, these cases take strange forms. The victim becomes in a sense, 'mediumistic', a vehicle for all the intangible forces in operation around her.
