Smoke on the Water

It all came down to reacting, in the flask that I was watching,
Equilibrium approaching, from one side or the other
To be frank, I zapped it, something happening I could see,
Take the logarithm of the constant, and relate it to free energy.

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky, smoke on the water,

Define your standard states, one molar or one atmosphere,
Make an ICE* table for the reaction, changes should be very clear,
A big K favors products, little K stays the same,
It looks like my K must be huge, judging from the smoke and flame.

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky, smoke on the water,

Define reaction quotient like K, except it's more general,
If Q is smaller and a product is sulfur; fire and brimstone, you can smell,
Two K's and two temperatures, no, your reaction isn't off,
It's just obeying thermodynamics, the equation of van't Hoff

Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky, smoke on the water,

*Initial, Change, Equilibrium
