Which symbol represents the gaseous state in a chemical equation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (g)
In a chemical equation, the symbol (g) placed after a formula indicates that the substance is in the gaseous state. The symbols (s) and (l) represent solid and liquid states, respectively, while (aq) means the substance is dissolved in water. Thus (aq) does not mean gas; it identifies an aqueous solution. Therefore option C correctly represents the gaseous state.
