How to find the state of an element in a chemical equation?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Everything around us is a matter like Food, Water, Cloth, including air.
Following are the three basic states of Matter:
• Solid
• Liquid
• Gas
Identifying the States of Matter of an Element in a Chemical Equation:
Step 1- Location of Parentheses: Locate the parentheses after the chemical formula, whether or not it is within the context of an equation.
Step 2- Identification Of Parenthesis: Identify the parentheses as (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, (g) for gas, or (aq) for aqueous solution.
( An aqueous solution is solute particles dissolved in water.)
Step 3- Keywords or Phrases: If no parentheses is present, follow the chemical formula, look for keywords or phrases.
(For example, a precipitate is a solid, a combustion reaction produces water and carbon dioxide in their gaseous forms, and in solubility experiments, ions are in aqueous solution.)
