Thermodynamics Chemistry Song

Bored one spring break, I made this up for a chem project.
Yup. I am that cool.
To the tune of "Low", by Flo Rida
I'm quite proud of the lyrics. But I can't listen to the original song without singing my words. Also, I'm not incredibly proud of the fact that I actually sang it. And it sounds like PAIN. Not T-Pain. Just PAIN. (It can be debated if those are synonymous, however.) I had to bribe a friend with an entire bag of Butterfingers to sing it with me so at least I had someone with whom I could sound like an idiot. Idiocy is always better with a friend! But here. Here is the song.


CHORUS:

We’re talkin’ ‘bout thermochemistry
With heat and temperature
To measure change in heat we use a calorimeter
C subscript p
Means specific heat
And it equals q over mass times delta T

Delta H is change in enthalpy
Amount of lost or absorbed heat
‘Cuz enthalpy is all about heat energy
When delta H is exo (thermic)
It’s below zero,
Enthalpy’s low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

VERSE:
Delta S is change in entropy
It’s a measure of anarchy
When the particles are goin’ all crazy
You got positive entropy
Nature likes mess, and likes unrest
Like in a gas, that’s delta S
Hold up wait a minute, we gonna talk about somethin’ else

Ima tell you bout delta G
Change in Gibbs free energy
A function of enthalpy and entropy
It’s a measure of spontaneity

There is a formula for delta G:
Delta H minus delta S times T
When it’s negative it fills us with glee
‘Cuz then the reaction can happen…wheeee!
