SOLUBILITY SONG
To the tune of “My Favorite Things” from “The Sound of Music”
Nitrates and Group one and Ammonium,
These are all soluble, a rule of thumb.
Then you have chlorides, they’re soluble fun,
All except Silver, Lead, Mercury I.
Then you have sulfates, except for these three:
Barium, Calcium and Lead, you see.
Worry not only few left to go still.
We will do fine on this test. Yes, we will!
Then you have the --Insolubles,
Hydroxide,
Sulfide and Carbonate and Phosphate,
And all of these can be dried!
