s stands for solid, and g stands for gas. For completeness sake I will include the fact that l stands for liquid. Hence, the symbols refer to which 'state' the chemicals/compounds in a chemical equation are in.
e.g. if you see H2O (g) this means water vapour/steam. if you see H2O (l) this means liquid water. if you see H2O (s) this means solid/frozen water i.e. ice.

Which equation correctly balances the chemical equation O Fe Fe2O3?
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Fe2O3(s)
What does the state symbol (s) mean when written after a chemical compound in a chemical equation?
There are three common state symbols for chemical formulae. The first is (s) which is solid, the second is (g) which is gaseous, and the third is (aq) which denotes aqueous, or in a liquid solution.
Balanced chemical equation bismuth is heated strongly in oxygen?
4Bi(s) + 3O2(g)----> 2Bi2O3(s)
What is the balanced chemical equation for molybdenum VI oxide and xenon difluoride?
2MoO2(s) + 6XeF2(g) <==> 2MoF6(g) + 3O2(g) + 6Xe(g)
How many oxygen atoms are indicated on the right side of this balanced chemical equation?
4Cr(s)+3O2(g)→2Cr2O3(g)
What is the word equation for burning sulfur?
it is a combustion. the word equation would be: sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide the balanced chemical equation: S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g)
Which equation correctly balances the chemical equation O Fe Fe2O3?
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Fe2O3(s)
What is the chemical equation for sodium added to oxygen?
2Na (s) + O2 (g) ---> 2Na2O (s)
What does the state symbol (s) mean when written after a chemical compound in a chemical equation?
There are three common state symbols for chemical formulae. The first is (s) which is solid, the second is (g) which is gaseous, and the third is (aq) which denotes aqueous, or in a liquid solution.
Balanced chemical equation bismuth is heated strongly in oxygen?
4Bi(s) + 3O2(g)----> 2Bi2O3(s)
What is a chemical equation of sublimation of C6H12O6(s)?
C6H12O6(s) ===> C6H12O6 (g)Sublimation is going from a solid (s) to a gas (g) without going through the liquid phase. The chemical composition of the compound does not change.
What is the balanced chemical equation for molybdenum VI oxide and xenon difluoride?
2MoO2(s) + 6XeF2(g) <==> 2MoF6(g) + 3O2(g) + 6Xe(g)
How many oxygen atoms are indicated on the right side of this balanced chemical equation?
4Cr(s)+3O2(g)→2Cr2O3(g)
How to say the element is solid in a chemical equation?
To indicate that an element is solid, but (s) afterward. For example: C graphite (s) + O2(g) --> CO2 (g)
What is the chemical equation for Fe?
A meaningless question. Because an equation relates the interaction of TWO or more substances, while this question mentions only ONE (namely Iron).
What is the chemical equation of the coupled process of graphite to carbon dioxide?
O2M(s)+C(s) yields M(s)+CO2(g)
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
The equation is: C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + Energy (as ATP) or Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (as ATP)
