Battery
Write your half-reactions, balance, H and Os, then
Electron's ripped and torn away,
Cancel by multiplication, disproportionation,
Batteries are here to stay,
Chorus:
Smashing through the boundary, voltmeter has found me,
Anode, cathode, battery
Pounding out some current, opposing volts deterrent,
Anode, cathode, battery
Cannot kill the current, batteries are made by me, battery, battery
Salt bridge connects the half cells, voltage begins to swell,
Obeys the laws of Faraday,
Tables of potentials, combine for voltage of your cell,
Delta G is minus nFE,
Chorus
Glass electrode, calomel, pH meter, let's make a
powerhouse of energy
Leclanche and alkaline, lead-acid and ni-cads,
Let's create a battery.
Chorus
Alternate final verse
Oxide passivation, sacrificial anode,
Corrosion stopped, can't you see
Galvanic and electrolytic, make hydrogen and oxygen,
Apply a voltage, bubbles, whee!
