Solubility Song (Sing it in the tune of "I Ask My Love')

I ask Group I

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

All say they can


I ask ammoniums

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

All say they can


I ask halides

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

Two say cannot


What are these two?

Silver chloride

And Lead (II) bromide

These two are noobs


I ask sulphates

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

Three say cannot


Calcium sulphate

Barium sulphate

Lead (II) sulphate

These three are dumbs


I ask oxides

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

Most say cannot


I ask hydroxides

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

Only two can


What are the two

They are the pros

Barium hydroxide

And calcium hydroxide


I ask carbonates

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

Most say cannot


I ask bicarbonates

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

All say they can


I ask all ethanoates

Can they dissolve?

Can they dissolve?

All say they can


So that’s the world

Of solubility

Solubles are pros

Insolubles are noobs!
