These are called "state symbols". In chemical equations, they tell us what form the compounds/elements etc. are present in: * (s) tells us that the substance is solid, such as 'CaCO3(s)' * (l) tells us that the substance is liquid or molten, such as 'H2O(l)' * (g) tells us that the substance is gaseous, such as 'CO2(g)' * (aq) tells us that the substance is in solution ie. aquaeous, such as 'HCl(aq)'

What does s and aq mean?

They are the state symbols in a chemical reaction. s = solid l = (pure) liquid g = gas aq = aqueous ( water) solution.


How can you balance this equation Cl2 g plus OH- aq - ClO3 - aq plus Cl- aq plus H2O l?

3Cl2(g) + 6OH-(aq) --> ClO3-(aq) + 5Cl-(aq) + 3H2O(l)


What is the ionic and net ionic equation for HCl and KHCO3?

The ionic equation for HCl and KHCO3 is H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + K+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) → KCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g). The net ionic equation is H+(aq) + HCO3-(aq) → H2O(l) + CO2(g).


Will calcium carbonate react with hydrochloric acid What is the ionic and net ionic equation?

Yes, calcium carbonate will react with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide. The ionic equation is: CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) -> Ca2+(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g). The net ionic equation is: CO3^2-(aq) + 2H+(aq) -> H2O(l) + CO2(g).


Is CuCO3(s) H2SO4(aq)CuSO4(aq) CO2(g) H2O(l) a decomposition?

This is not a decomposition reaction.


What is the net ionic equation for dilute hydrochloric acid with solid calcium carbonate?

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> CaCl2(aq) + H2CO3(aq) is the balanced chemical equation H2CO3 is not stable in this form, so it splits into CO2(g) + H2O(l) Therefore the true equation will be: CaCO2(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) You NIE will start like this: CaCO2(s) + 2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) -> Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) and will end as: 2H+(aq) + CaCO2(s) -> Ca2+(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
