The common abbreviations for state are (s) for solid, (g) for gas, (l) for liquid, and (aq) for aqueous solution. Of these, (aq) and (s) are likely to be the important ones for precipitation. Sometimes a down arrow is used to emphasize that a precipitate is formed.

Why is being flammable a chemical property rather than a physical property?

Physical properties of an element are those in which there is no change in its state. For example, the color and density of an element are physical properties. If an element is flammable, it goes through a reaction and burns, and there is a change in state. When there is a reaction that results in a change of state, Flammability is a chemical property.
