State Symbols in Chemical Equations | Properties of Matter | Chemistry | FuseSchool
In this video, we will look at the state symbols (s), (l), (g), and (aq) and what they represent in a chemical equation.
For equations to be complete, we must also include the state symbol for each reactant and product.
There are four possible states, each with their own unique state symbol.
Solid – represented by lower case s.
Liquid – represented by lower case l.
Gas – represented by lower case g.
Aqueous, or dissolved in water – represented by lower case aq.
This is written after each reactant or product in brackets and in subscript, meaning, a bit lower than the actual text.
State symbols represent the state of each reactant and each product in a reaction, and must be included in every chemical equation.

In this video we’re going to look at how to simplify algebraic expressions. Before we get started on simplifying, a few things to remember:
(1) we always use a use a curly x for the letter x in algebra.
(2) We don’t really use the mul
In algebra, we replace a letter with numbers in the process known as substitution. Given the formula A = 1/2bh, if the base is 5cm and the height is 10cm, then the area is ½ X 5 X 10 because we have replaced the b with 5 and the h with 10. You just need to be be careful with negative numbers: it is
