This document lists common names for various chemical compounds and their corresponding systematic or IUPAC names. It provides over 100 entries that show the relationship between common shorthand names and chemical names. Some common names refer to the compound's appearance, such as "white lead" or "red prussiate". Others describe historical uses or locations of discovery, like "Glauber's salt" or "Chile saltpeter". The purpose is to translate between names and provide the standardized chemical identity for substances known by multiple names.
