Which is the symbol for liquid state in a chemical equation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: l
The lowercase symbol (l) is used in a chemical equation to show that a substance is in the liquid state. The other symbols have different meanings: (s) denotes a solid, (g) denotes a gas, and (aq) denotes a substance dissolved in water. Thus the letter l is not a numerical one or an abbreviation for gas; it specifically identifies liquid state. Option B is correct.
