Question

What do the symbols(aq) and(s) indicates in balanced chemical equation ​

Answer 1

these symbol tells about the state of the substnace

(aq) means aqueous meaning solution phase

(s) means Solid state

Answer 2

Symbol {aq} indicates the solution in aqueous state or ionic state and symbol {s} indicates the solid state in a chemical reaction.

†

Explanation

☞ Symbols in Chemical Equation ☜

Solid state is abbreviated as: ( s )

• Represents → solid state , solid phase , solidity.
• Here that solid can be solid state of liquid or gas.

liquid state is abbreviated as: ( l )

• Represents → liquid state
• Here liquid can be the liquid state of solid or gas

Gas state is abbreviated as: ( g )

• Represents → gas state ,gaseity , gaseousness; gaseous state
• Here gas can be gaseous state of that liquid or solid

Aqus solution is abbreviated as: ( aq )

• Represents that the form of existence of this substance is ionic.

So , now you can ask ,

★ How will I distinguish whether the element symbol of the chemical equation is solid or gas ?

➢ Well , the answer is simple →

• The element state of the general chemical equation is distinguished according to its own experience, for example, water is liquid at normal temperature, carbon is solid, etc. And the element symbol in the thermal reaction equation is suffixed Stateful.

All chemical reaction formulas that have not been balanced Is wrong because it violates the principle of conservation of matter (specially, the principle of conservation of matter characterized by the conservation of atomic species and quantity is only applicable in chemistry.
