Question

What is the symbol used to represent the following physical state in a chemical reaction?
aqueous solution, solid, gas, molten, liquid

Answer 1

Explanation:

An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. It is mostly shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant chemical formula. For example, a solution of table salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl), in water would be represented as Na+(aq) + Cl−(aq). The word aqueous (which comes from aqua) means pertaining to, related to, similar to, or dissolved in, water. As water is an excellent solvent and is also naturally abundant, it is a ubiquitous solvent in chemistry. Aqueous solution is water with a pH of 7.0 where the hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH−) are in Arrhenius balance (10−7).

Answer 2

Answer:

If the product is in the aqueous state then represent it by aq . If it is solid represent it by (s) .If it is liquid represent it by (l) and if it is in the gaseous state then represent it either with symbol (g) or with the arrow pointing upward . and if it in solid instead of s represent it by arrow pointing downward showing precipitate.
