Acids and Bases


Song:
Acids and Base Have Two Different Faces
By Michael Offutt


Chorus: Acids and bases have two different faces,

Two different personalities,

And you gotta find out what they’re all about,

If you wan to learn chemistry.



Now the first thing you gotta get straight in your head,

Acids turn (blue) litmus paper (red).

They react with metals with awesome power,

They neutralize (bases) and taste very (sour).



Bases are different from acids, it’s true,

Bases turn (red) litmus paper (blue).

They neutralize (acids), feel slippery on skin,

They taste sorta (bitter), and are called (alkaline).



Chorus



Well there’s even more to this wonderful tale,

Something we call the pH scale.

It’s numbers from zero up to fourteen,

Those are powers of ten if you know what I mean.



When the pH is (7), then it’s a case,

Where the sample is neither an acid nor base.

But less than seven?…It’s an acid we say,

More than seven?…It’s a base all the way.



Chorus



Acids and bases?…Now why should you care?

‘Cause acids and bases are (everywhere).

You put them on salads, and they get in the rain,

They settle your tummy, and clean out your (drain).



So the next time your sitting under some shade,

And your sipping a glass full of real (lemonade),

You’ll notice the sour taste and think in your head,

I bet it turns (blue) litmus paper to (red).


Chorus
