Which symbol represents the liquid state of a substance in a chemical equation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (l)
The governing concept is the use of state symbols in chemical equations. The symbol (l), from the word “liquid,” represents a substance in the liquid state, so option A is correct. The distractors describe different conditions: (s) means solid, (g) means gas, and (aq) means that the substance is dissolved in water as an aqueous solution. Therefore (aq) is not the general symbol for every liquid.
