Chapter 3: Problem 58

Write the symbols used to represent gas, liquid, solid, and the aqueous phase in chemical equations.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Solid is represented by (s), liquid by (l), gas by (g), and aqueous by (aq).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the symbol for solid

In chemical equations, the state of matter for solid substances is represented by the symbol (s) written as a subscript to the right of the chemical formula for the substance.
02

Identify the symbol for liquid

For liquid substances, the symbol used in chemical equations is (l), written in the same way as for solid.
03

Identify the symbol for gas

The symbol for gaseous states is (g). As with the other symbols, it is written as a subscript to the right of the chemical formula.
04

Identify the symbol for aqueous

The symbol for a substance in an aqueous state (dissolved in water) is (aq). It follows the same formatting as the other symbols.

Use ammonia \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)\) to explain what is meant by the percent composition by mass of a compound.

On what law is stoichiometry based? Why is it essential to use balanced equations in solving stoichiometric problems?

The molar mass of caffeine is \(194.19 \mathrm{~g}\). Is the molecular formula of caffeine \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) or \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{~N}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{2} ?\)

A sample of iron weighing \(15.0 \mathrm{~g}\) was heated with potassium chlorate \(\left(\mathrm{K} \mathrm{ClO}_{3}\right)\) in an evacuated container. The oxygen generated from the decomposition of \(\mathrm{KClO}_{3}\) converted some of the Fe to \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\). If the combined mass of Fe and \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) was \(17.9 \mathrm{~g},\) calculate the mass of \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) formed and the mass of \(\mathrm{KClO}_{3}\) decomposed.
